Hmmmm...my math teacher's a coach.

Anyway, Math is definly my least favorite subject. It's hard (without my trusty TI-30XS calc!), boring, and my math class is 2 hours, making it worse.
Eh.
sheesh....

Close tie between math and PE. But PE I didn't have to do for the last three years, but maths I did, so maths wins. It was hell, I just can't do it - not 'won't' or 'isnt trying hard enough' or whatever else teachers assumed, I literally can't do it!

Hands-down, Math was my worse subject. I failed Geometry with flying colors. I couldn't understand how to do proofs. When I tried to get the teacher to help me, all he said was, "Go back to the last thing you understood and work forward from there." Like that made any sense to me! I told him that the last thing I understood in my Geometry textbook was where the guy dedicated the book to his wife.

My best subject was English. I was an honors student throughout high school and in college. In college, I was so lousy in math that they gave me remedial-level classes(even though I passed all my algebra classes in high school).

P.E, of course. I dominated every subject, nobody could humiliate me anywhere in my school life. Teasing me in the playgrounds and around school was a nuisance, but it didn't bother me.
p.E was essentially my Kryptonite. I was slightly overweight, clumsy, slow, weak and severely lacking in endurance. I had nothing and no one to hide behind.
One kid, Ashley his name was, would run to the changing rooms to get there before me, so he could watch me get dressed and laugh at my body.

Math was my worse subject, because I have a hard time even remembering numbers. I couldn't remember my phone number or address. Numbers seemed too abstract for me. Now, I realize I have dyscalculia. I went to a math tutor and finally learned how to do fractions and algebra and geometry.
I understand about PE , I never was picked first, and once I was picked last and I felt terrible. :(

History was my least favorite subject. With P.E I did not mind do my own thing in the gymn such as gymnastics on a horizontal and parallel bars etc, but I was hopeless at competive sports like football, cricket, basketball or baseball. Ten pin bowling was the only competive sport I liked.

P.E. was my least favourite subject. I hated it and having to change and shower with the other boys.

I liked history best, also English and politics (though it wasn't called that).

P.E.

I was good at everything else and I enjoyed it. After 15 or so I wasn't good at maths and science anymore and therefore didn't enjoy them.

Maybe you should put in an explanation of what PE means for those not from America.

PE is Physicial Education which is basically get up of your a** and workout for an hour (at my school anyway, we have hour classes).

It sucks.

I always hated math and science, Algebra was by the far the worst math, X can remain hidden as far as I am concerned, and Freshman Biology will leave me scarred for life, not because of the material(which was crud), but because we had five incompetant teachers(save one), that year. The name Mrs. Stimpfel which will always come out Mrs. Stickyfingers.

Are you sure about that? You're using the language to tell us all how useless it is. If you were illiterate, you'd never have learned how to use a computer in the first place. Little practical application, eh? Resumes always look best when they're free of grammatical errors, spelling errors, etc.

I personally do not like math or P.E., but I'd be a fool to denounce them as useless.

I hate it, therefore it's no good. Aspie logic? :?
