I was never great at it, but it all depended on what teacher I had.
I ranged from getting A's in classes to flat out failing.
Some teachers were cool, and were very helpful teaching you the best way to understand, and then there was always the 'I'm gonna make this class a living hell' teacher
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
During my middle school years(9-12ish years old) I, well all of us, dreaded French, all because of the teacher. Everyone was scared of her, even the really REALLY naughty boys in the school. I like French though.
As for lessons, psychologically I dreaded Drama all through my school life, but thankfully in High school it was only about 6 actual lessons because after the first year of high school it is no longer compulsory since it becomes a GCSE choice.
That's the only class that worried me.
Others were just boredom, Maths and Physics(unless we were doing things concerning Astronomy).
Everything else I enjoyed for the most part and had nice teachers.

Maths and Physics, with me being hopeless at both.
I dreaded physics more though because I could at least get by in maths whereas in physics I was lost (it also didn't help that they bumped me up into the top science group by virtue of how assured I was in Biology and Chemistry) .
My maths has improved since I got a better qualification in it but certain things still trouble me.
Oh Geography got rather boring in my last year of high school, it was fine up until halfway through year 10 and 11, teacher changed(first wonderful one left the school, then we had another for a few months but apparently was fired when found out he smoked cannabis outside of school) from a really good one to a horrible woman who couldn't handle the class and it turned from interesting work to what seemed like just geology type work. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. So Geography was a negative from then on.

EDIT: i guess I still HAD to take an english course every year, but we had good english teachers... There might have been a grade 11 math in there too...
I didn't particularly care for Chemistry. I expected it to be cool like on tv.
Language arts/English comp/etc. I'm not sure if this qualifies, as I actually loved the subject. I hated that we had like...nonstop oral presentations. I've largely overcome my fear of public speaking now, but I nearly had a heart attack before all my presentations then. It seems unreasonable looking back on it though. My classmates were the same people I interacted with daily, but speaking in front of them was like hell.
Everyone was looking at me and it was so quiet apart from my own voice. I couldn't deal with it. I even deliberately got a zero on one of the presentations to avoid the anxiety. My parents were so pissed when they found out.
Also, depending on the teacher, English. Some of the teachers at my high school were awesome, and some were just...really boring, and all we did was read tedious and boring books.
I also detested my German class, thanks mostly to my boring and completely oblivious teacher, but I stuck it out for four years anyway.
Hmm this is hard because I failed my Freshman, and Sophmore years of high school, getting nearly straight Fs with one A in English each year. I had straight As my Junior year and then failed most of my senior year again.
I hated just about every subject and every teacher, but the worst was Math, which I never actually passed. I never got past 9th Grade Algebra.
