What was your worst subject in school? And why?

[Longgrain]

[Kikosexy2]

1. Art...

because I love drawing and painting nudies. And English because yo habla bueno Englis--y que?

[Lavender Brown]

2. Math

I always got Bs in it. :7 :hide:

[Longgrain]

5. I was lucky to get Bs in math...

My first D ever was in math.

I understood it, but I just didn't care for it.

[Lavender Brown]

8. Me neither

I knew some people would go on to use that stuff in their future lives, but I would not be one of them.

[Book Lover]

3. Math - I was traumatized!

You may say that I need to learn to let go, but I say that holding onto something from 5th grade is an achievement unto itself. When Sr Deila was teaching us the metric system, she used the mnemonic "K_____ Hates Doing Math" to teach the class kilometer-hectometer-dekameter-meter, where the K stands for my name. Put me off math for life (well, except my geometry class, which I really liked).

[BlueJazz]

4. Englishe. I got a whole bunch of A's and B's in Math and othar

..subgects but my englishe was'not up two parr.

[scarlet_owl]

6. Math. I don't know why.

Probably because I have a very artistic mind. On edit: I sucked at gym, too.

[Guaranteed]

7. Handwriting/art.

I SUCKED.

Had a couple of interesting drawings that were actually fairly decent likenesses...but...

I really sucked. Just couldn't make the transfer from brain to the page/clay/hands/whatever.

[Longgrain]

13. Actually, for all the art that I've posted...I sucked at penmenship...

Had a couple parents talks with teachers regarding my writing.

[Guaranteed]

14. Yeah, in second grade I think my teacher thought I was retarded,

my handwriting was so horrible.

All my "n's" looked like "h's." A bunch of other crap. She sent me to some therapist and he checked out my skills.

But then I was twice as far through the math workbooks as the rest of the class.

Weird.

9. Math

I started to do poorly when multiplication was introduced. :(

[SarahB]

10. Math

Well, higher math anyway. I have trouble getting much past algebra. I can get it, but it's like a foreign language for me that is so abstract, my brain has trouble "getting it" and I have to work very, very hard. Almost any other subject I can pick up quickly and it just clicks, but when it comes to math (and related physical sciences surrounding math), it's much more of a challenge.

[xmas74]

11. Math I got b+'s in but art,

man I really hated that. I loved Music and the other fine arts but I could not draw worth a damn and she would not allow bad drawings w/ good titles so I had to work really hard to please a person who could never be satisfied.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

12. Not all sciences. Just biology.

Can't memorize all those friggin parts! Aced chem and physics though.

[Wickerman]

15. Attendance

Took me until the 2nd masters to get it right. Going to school is hard work .

16. Oddly, history

Odd because it's my passion and I was interested in it at the time. However, I was going through some pretty tough times emotionally when I got into my junior year history course and I wound up with the most boring teacher on the face of the earth. The class was scheduled last in the day after a study hall and I ended up getting in the habit of leaving school during the study hall and just never coming back.

The following year, my senior year, I had to take it over. When I got my schedule, I saw that they had given me the same teacher at the same time and even the same study hall! I went to my advisor and told her, "I need to get into a different class - I'm going to fail again." She told me it was impossible to change and halfway through my senior year, I gave up and quit school (I could have passed but I was too depressed by outside events to care).

Fifteen or twenty years later, I was in line at the grocery store when I saw that teacher. He only had a couple of items so I let him go in front of me. When he thanked me, I told him I felt I owed it to him since I failed his class twice. He said, "I don't think anyone ever failed it twice... wait a minute... Skygazer?" It was quite funny.

[Beware the Beast Man]

17. English, though Science runs a close second.

I couldn't be bothered with required reading, and I despised those "tell me about yourself" type essays at the beginning of every year. I did, however, like my Senior English teacher because she was originally a college professor, and encouraged us to think rather than recite.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

18. History was my least favorite. Math was my favorite.

I hated memorizing names and dates for History class. I was OK at it, but I just found it to be a very boring way to spend my time. I did well in all my classes regardless of how much I liked them.

[Dancing_Dave]

19. Speling was prety bad.

I was laking a certen kind of visual memory.

Didn't really get it worked out until college.

[Longgrain]

20. I'm surprised no one's talked about their traumatic Gym Class experiences

yet.

Perhaps thats one of those things that's best discussed with a professional therapist.

[One_Life_To_Give]

21. Latin

Loved the history, hated the language.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. I voted Math in the "best" poll. Guess what I voted in this one. (nt)

[Reverend_Smitty]

23. The only D I ever got in my entire life was in Math...

I managed to graduate with over a 4.0 GPA in high school but I was damn lucky to get B's in math. I did get straight A's in geometry but Algebra I and II and Pre-calc...forget it! The last final I took in high school was in pre-calc and yep I got a D!

[hyphenate]

24. I have never been able to view

mathematics in an abstract fashion. I was okay through Geometry, but then when we hit Algebra and Trig, I was completely unable to keep up with it. I suppose the fact that our math teacher was so blind that she had to put her nose 5 inches from the blackboard, and that we found all the answers to her weekly tests until we finally got caught, made a bit of a difference as well. The year after we graduated, the poor woman had cataracts removed from her eyes. Remember Aunt Clara--sweet, fumbling, head thicker than a plank of wood Clara on Bewitched? Our teacher looked so much like her that we think of Clara when we reminisce about high school and math class.

25. Math

I hated it then & now.

I love calculators. :)

[CRK7376]

26. I HATE MATH!

I HATE MATH and can barely add, subtract, multiply and divide. Now I have to get my teen through Geometry, Algebra II, and some sort of Advance Math......Trig/Calc etc...Then my wife and I have a few years respite before the younger kids get into math that we have trouble with....God I hate math....

I just don't think analytically or logically enough to work through the formulas and equations. Jimmy Buffet has a great song all about how much MATH SUCKS!

[Skittles]

27. I excelled in math and just loved it

but chemistry - I just didn't get it

[BlackVelvetElvis]

28. I tested at 8th grade level in math.

<confession time> I still don't know my multiplication tables.
Despite that, I made a B in my mathematical models class.
This summer, I'm taking Math 140 at the local comm. college.
I dread it and will celebrate when it is over because I will never have to take another math class in my life!
