What subject in school you had to most trouble in?

Post Reply New Topic

For me I hated english class. Because for one it was hard for me to remember all the consonants and vowels and all the stupid grammer rules like "I before E except after C" (something like that)

I chose PE. But maths was also my worst subject. They're both equally as hard.

Math and English were my hardest subjects, in school.

Mine was both math and english.

However with english, I had some strengths such as short stories, reading comprehension, and ideas.

My biggest struggle was pretty much the order, structure, and syntax. I realize now that it was due to the pragmatic impairments usually associated with aspergers.

Maths has to be the only subject that I mostly struggled with.... I used to be very good at maths when I was very young around 6 years old
I only started to struggle with the subject when I was transferred to another school which didn't teach me maths at the level I was in at the time that I started getting terrible at when I was going back to level I was suppose to be at.... Also with personal problems on top of that also getting in the way of my education.

English mock exams I couldn't do, the average grades that I kept on getting was a D. No matter how hard I tried, the grades don't change, but it ended up slipping to an E.
I'm surprised I passed the exam when I actually took the actually thing getting the highest grades... apparently, my school just started doing them at entry level so unfortunately, I will be struggling with these subjects.

PE. I'm not remotely dyspraxic, I'm actually fairly agile, but trying to keep track of lots of people's rapid movements scrambled the living crap out of me. And it didn't help that I'd never done most of those sports before (I was home schooled).

Math has always been my worse subject. I remember my dad trying to help me with homework, and I would get so worn out that I would fall asleep crying. That was when I was in Kindergarten. Because of my motor skills I was able to get a waver for PE, but the school made me take weight-lifting in place of it. I also took a sports and recreation class and passed. But when I became a senior in High School I got better at athletics.

Oh. I voted social studies but actually it was math.;;;
History was pretty bad too.
I'm pretty good at English and I always loved PE. We never really did anything structured, it was always just like dodgeball and running around and climbing and stuff, so you didn't have to be good at team sports or anything. You just had to be good at flailing around for an hour, lol.

As far as grades were concerned, History was my worst subject. It wasn't because I couldn't do the work, it was because I was completely disinterested in the subject matter. To this day, I know very little about any history and I'm quite embarrassed about it. I know a little about Russian history, but that's it.

I found it hard to choose between Maths and PE but ended up going for Maths. I've always had great difficulty in both, achieving the average grade D in Maths...even though I got A* in subjects that interested me (such as Physics; Biology and Chemistry).

I've always been awfully terrible at PE. I just couldn't process it. And it made me so anxious I'd be up all night and usually end up self harming.

I had to drop out of school because I can't handle it. But yeah. That's just my luck!

Doing Maths homework was always very hard for me too. I ALWAYS had to have help and I would really loose my temper. I'd throw books at the wall, rip stuff up, break stuff, shout at people, cry, and then feel bad for shouting and going bed crying.

And yeah I stopped doing PE at my school but joined a gym instead - which helped a lot but unfortunately not enough.

Once I got in College, my instructor wouldn't allow me to use a calculator on long division problems, so it was hell for me. Long division is too abstract for me, same goes with fractions.

I was like that at your age.... the only difference is I just sometimes have to cheat to actually get the correct answer. Use a calculator when nobody is looking..... but seriously, its not a very good idea, especially when you have to prepare for your SAT's exams and G.C.S.E's later on in school life which happens normally at the last year of school.... which it was 16, i don't know if it has changed now?

You could try and research ways how to do certain sums, maybe that might possibly help you?

I'm out of school now, I had a mental/nervous breakdown sort of thing and haven't been able to go into school since. I always ran away when I tried going back in last year.

As I said to my teachers: I'd rather be walking down death row than to school. And that still stands. i just cant do it. So basically Asperger's has kinda made my education go to, excuse my language, s**t.

When looking at my grades and comments that the teachers wrote in reports, I would have to say maths. I didn't understand the work so I avoided doing it, and when forced to do it I would just start crying because it was so frustrating not being able to understand something that everyone else in my class seemed to do with ease. This is from when I was 5-13 years old because after then I no longer attended school. I did high school for 5-6 months and during that time I only used 2 pages of my maths book (to glue in worksheets that I didn't complete anyway).

I was always terrible at math. I sucked hard at PE too, but the teachers pitied me and gave me an A for effort.
