Math, I never really gave it much attention and that's probably why I sucked at it, but when I actually take my time with it, it's pretty decent. Though I prefered all the other classes better. They're just more interesting. English has stories, science likes to explain things and you get mental images in your head but math, all there were were freaking numbers. Number this number that find that number gah it just didn't stimulate my brain that much.

Math, or possibly German. I took to French decently enough, blew through sign language.
German destroyed me though. I failed from start to finish. My teacher just gave up on me after a while.

I had a frigid witch for a chemistry teacher, so that would be it. She made us memorize the periodic table, which is a complete waste of time because no way in the real world would you be required to know it off the top of your head. Why I took another 3 semesters of chemistry in college is a mystery to me. :confused:

I was fortunate enough to have had at least one good teacher experience in every subject matter. Whenever that happened, I learned stuff i value even today. Even PE, probably the class at which I was worst, I earned the teacher's respect for always playing hard, even though my skills wern't the greatest. That, and I got in a fight with a guy twice my size 'cause he was being a dick (sucker-punched me, with a fist, in the middle of a play.) Got creamed, but learned that it's better to stand and lose.

Didn't really have a bad experience in school 'till university. One, a bad Geog prof who was a stupid liberal hippy. Smart liberal hippy is ok, I aspire to being one, but stupid sucks. That, and Nietsche. Goddamn you Friedrich, may you rot in hell.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one.
