Is/was school easy or hard for you?

Post Reply New Topic

For me, very hard. I can't turn much at all in. My chem teacher does this thing, where she has us fill out a question and answer every day for a week, then she has us turn it in for a homework pass. After over half the school year, I have yet to turn one in. I always lose them.

School is hard for me and sometimes very hard depending on the subject. I've had to use tutors, dvd's, "Dummies" books, online sites and computer cd programs. Math is the hardest for me. Sometimes it takes me hours to figure something out. Right now in one of my online classes, the topic is so boring I find it hard to pay attention and I wander off to do something else. I still think I have ADD, but who cares now since I've been living with it for so long.

Elementary school- very hard (socially only really)
Middle School- average
High School- Hard (both socially and academically, though I put very, very little effort into either one)
college- N/A

So it went for me.

I did well academically, despite my rather severe Executive Functioning difficulties.

I flunked socially.

Angela made a good suggestion. If you take her suggestion, you won't lose those things, Crying Tears.

Lessons, academics, getting along with teachers and professors, tests etc. were easy for the most part. There were a few subjects I couldn't wrap my mind around.

Getting along with peers? Impossible. Being a social pariah and a bully magnet is not fun, and that's what school was like for me. I would hide my face in a book whether it was a class-related book or one I wanted to read for my own pleasure.

school was easy, except for phys ed. I pulled a 3.6 without ever studying. Then I learned I couldn't do that in college...

School was very hard for me. I have dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADD, & I was also born with a rare low vision disorder that wasn't diagnosed till my senior year of high-school(I heard alot of learning is visual). I struggled in most of my classes & I was bullied till I went to a school for dyslexia in middle of 6th grade. It didn't do high-school thou so I went to a Catholic high-school & I wasn't bullied there either.

school was hard because I was lazy lol, not kidding. I would know all the info and get bored, then not answer the questions. I got like a C average when I did that. the only Time I would get A's across the bored is when my mom stepped in and was ,like WTF WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING. and I was like crap!. then my grade would rise to A then drop to C again. I wasn't learning anything, got bored. I got in trouble multiple times for falling asleep in class. My teacher's aide was pissed at me half the time because I would trick her into thinking I was working and then doing absolutely lol. all I cared about were my games (still the case). my teachers would be like. why not just turn it in? when I did I would get commendation. by the time I was in high school I was lazy enough to warrant special needs classes. those teachers just enabled me lol. they would give me paper and say, just fill it out or wtv. and go do something at their desk for an hour.

School was easy for me most of the time, at least regarding the subjects. I didn't had to do much, but still got good marks in my written tests. My good tests often confused teachers at the beginning because I used to be rather quiet during lessons, so my oral participation marks were much worse than what I achieved on my tests. It was a matter of low self-esteem rather than not knowing the answers mostly what made me avoid saying something in class, combined with the fact that I find writing much easier than answering quick and spontaneously to questions in class.

Mostly easy, but I really struggled with projects in middle and high school because I had trouble getting focused. Fortunately, I usually got good grades anyway.

I voted Hard.

High school used to be okay for me. I was fine with the work, and I had some very loyal friends. But now I'm in sixth form. I'm still coping with the amount of work okay, but I lost all my friends as they went to other colleges, and there aren't many other people in my year I really get along with, so I'm struggling with the social side. I'm starting to talk to a couple of girls in younger years who are also special needs, so it's getting better. But it'll take a while before I feel perfectly up to scratch.

The academics were pretty easy, but high school and middle school were sensory nightmares.

Everything about college life for me was hard, but I had the right people and resources on my side to help me. So I took the challenge like a man! Undiagnosed my final GPA in high school was a 2.5. I got diagnosed half way through my college career and wound up with a 2.874 GPA in history.

It is extremely hard being social for me. Many people that I know now ignore me, and people exclude me out of their groups coldly. However, I am doing well academically.
