Why English Class is Not a Bore

This is very hard to explain, but I will try my hardest. What I want to say is that often my friends say that English class is a bore, it is not something that they look forward to during the day. In a time where math and science rule the world, it is really hard to blame them for that. There is a lot of pressure to go into math or science as a profession and that is fine but it really bothers me when people say that English is useless. Granted, the time of the philosopher may be gone, but I think that there is still hope for literature, if the correct precautions are taken. Personally, I have had two great English teachers throughout high school, and they have literally changed my life. Every time I enter English class I get excited, its like I am entering another world. However when I enter math class I become slow, groggy and I just don't want to be there. The importance is really in the importance of the teacher. If you have a great teacher, you are most likely going to enjoy your class much more than with an average teacher. We really, really, really desperately need teachers who can challenge the minds of the youth. We are so smart here and we need more teachers like the ones that I have had who can push us to the very brink of our potential. Math and science may be taking over, but happiness is not based on money. I see a happy man every day, and he studies English with his life, so I cannot ever argue that English class is a bore.
