I took Biology class in 9th grade (Freshman year) and had a love/hate relationship with it. The teachers were trying a new concept, where we didn't have lectures, we just read the book and then did a lab and then went to another class to be tested orally. It was awful most of the time because I retain things by hearing them sometimes instead of just reading. We had these cards that got punched when we passed and we had 3 chances to get it punched or our grade went down.
The fun part was that we got to sit wherever we wanted, so I always tried to sit by the boy I had a crush on!! He and I got into trouble for giggling too much and we were supposed to go to detention after school, but our names didn't get written on the chalkboard, so we didn't go...and nothing happened :D
Funny enough, I have a lot of good memory about biology but I think that was because of the oral test questions that others failed and I made a point to remember!
