Worst subjects for you?

Post Reply New Topic

PE, history, writing class, geometry.

I'll have to say History and Social Studies. Some of the topics in these subjects I don't always understand, and I sometimes have to ask multiple questions so I can grasp the concept.

Math was my worst subject because I would keep making simple arithmetic errors. I would solve multiplication problems as if they were addition problems and vice versa.

I love learning, but I hate going to classes & school.

I have dyscalculia, so I struggled a lot in math until that was diagnosed, and I got some help. I hated PE class, always did horribly.

I loved all my science classes, especially chemistry and anatomy & physiology. Enjoyed English most of the time. I love history and languages.

I did well through high school because I could read the textbook and then take the exam. I was usually top in my class. Then I went to college, and I was expected to sit through lecture after lecture and learn everything from what the teacher said. I nearly failed out during my first year and did pretty poorly my second year. I began recording my lectures and transcribing them later, and that was the only way I was able to bring up my grades.

Math, foreign languages, science, art

reading fiction and gym... UGH

im good at foreign lang and history since i have excellent memory but i find them SO BORING

PE, maths, physics, geography, foreign language

Why is the stereotype that AS = great at maths, when nearly every post here lists maths as a worst subject?

My worst subjects,
-Physical Education, weak, slow and very poor gross motor skills(Dyspraxic), always the worst and very mentally draining.
-Math, class moved too fast for me, I was slow to learn if I even did, could not retain most of it.
-English, much the same is math although I got much better in the later years as they moved away from spelling and grammer type lessons to more art, advertising, creative based and writing analysis based (all my strong points)lessons.
-Science, depending on the subject matter, some like technoligy and design I acceled at and some like biology I struggled at.
-Drama(I called it Trama)-was torture for me as I had major anxiety. stage fright and found acting embarrising and hard to do, I got alot of flak rom my classmates aswell.
-Music, more so with singing, I hated my voice(Dyspraxia again i think), aswell is the stage fright issue again and I was very poor at music and always badly mis-allinged with my classmates, however music in high school became my primary special intrest and I acceled in my grade 10 guitar class and loved it and never looked back!

Other issues,
-Group work, very tramadic and akward from the words "pick a partner" to the end, I always was and felt like the odd one out, usually assigned to a group who never wanted me in the first place and I knew it. I always felt kind of physically ill trying to navigate the group work thing and at times got taken advantage of and my ideas almost never got used or tryed.
-Homework, I always becouse of my slow pace in math and english took home too much homework and took twice as long or more to finish and never learned anything other then bad habits to get it over with faster like just writing in random numbers to get math homework over with.

History, accounting........boring.

Gym (mostly with the team sports)- I'm just really bad at it
Math- I always had to take special ed classes with math, I'm not even good at multiplying

Culture
Geography
History
Literature
Physical Education
Politics

I hate social sciences, I must study them because I have no choice.

P.E., English, Math, and Geography.

I was good in P.E. because I'm a natural athlete but I hated it because it meant participating/teamwork and changing in front of everyone in the locker room.

English: too boring so I kept getting distracted and never learned anything.

Geography: I never was interested in volcanoes or different kind of soils, etc. so again, I kept getting distracted and never learned anything.

Math: Way too hard and tedious. Plus it was boring to sit in that class too.

So basically, if the class is boring, then I don't like it.

Depends on the teachers

What I suck at: Algebra. Do not need help with it atm, though.
What I excel at, visual arts.

When I was a kid, my worst subjects were math, PE, and Spanish. Computers was one of my worst subjects for about a year in the 3rd/4th grade, but I think that was mostly bcuz the teacher and I didn't care for each very much.

I enjoyed taking Spanish a lot more once I got to high school, though....many of the students at my high school hadn't taken Spanish at all in elementary school, so the Spanish classes were pretty basic. The main reason I struggled so much with learning Spanish in elementary school was bcuz I transferred to a different school in the 4th grade and my class was three years ahead of me. I remember the kids who sat at my table in Spanish class looking bewildered when I expressed my frustration with the material.

Now that I'm in college, my worst subject is probably still math. I also started taking a Geosciences class at the beginning of last semester, and had to withdraw from it, since I couldn't make heads or tails of what was being taught in it. I'm taking Biology and Intro to Contemporary Math this semester, and anticipate both of those being comparably better.....I've been wrong before, though.

ETA: Oh, I quite forgot to tell about what I am good at....anything that involves writing, literature, creativity, art, and categorization.

My worst subject, like a lot of others here, was PE.

Take gymnastics: some bodies are designed to somersault gracefully through the air and some are not. You wouldn't expect a rhinoceros to do it so why expect me to do it?

Because of my build I was always put in the rugby team which I hated. I had no interest or aptitude for team sports and hated that everyone else took it so seriously. I once found a rather nice fossil sea urchin during a football match which gives you an idea how much notice I was taking of the game.

I was poor at woodwork and metalwork through general cack-handedness, which is a shame as I wanted to be good at them. The same with technical drawing.

I was always a good reader but someone hearing me read out loud might have thought I had learning difficulties. I was good at reading and writing in French too but again, hearing me actually speak the language was painful.
