I hate math, I do bad in math, I try my best in math but that fails; meh, I prefer written subjects with more sense and understanding (English, Irish, Biology, French, Geography (oh hell yes) ) than math. I'm totally unlucky for some reason ;_; I hate Maths as well although I can do well sometimes, but I generally fail hard at it (especially during the last two years o.o) Wanna talk about Physics too? My parents be like "omg rekc study maths if you want to become someone in your life" and I'm "oh hell to the no, why should I become someone if you didn't study maths either, I mean wtf". I love written subjects as well but this year the ones who teach these kind of subjects come to school just to be paid and yeah.. (well excepting English) but meh.. they don't have any interest in teaching you something and if you don't understand what they're saying and ask them to re-explain it, they go mad mentioning how bad you are and how much you don't listen to them while they're speaking.. Yeeeahh. I've done an essay earlier this month, talking about immigration and racial discrimination, I wrote something like 6 pages about it, with mistakes only regarding the punctuation, and I just got a sufficient mark, while another classmate got the same mark but he just wrote a page or something like that and half of it was full of proper grammar mistakes, that's why I have the feeling that whenever I try to give my best, I just get cut off and I feel like "screw school, I'm going to become a stripper " I don't get the point in loads of homework either, especially the ones that are like "Read this book/poem and answer the questions". Seriously, I'm not dumb not to understand what's the text about. I think these kind of homework are just meant to show the teacher you've read it and you're a oh so good student. I don't want to be misunderstood either, I generally like going to school, but I still want to learn things I'm interested about, and not senseless stuff, which doesn't change my life at all

I don't want to be misunderstood either, I generally like going to school, but I still want to learn things I'm interested about, and not senseless stuff, which doesn't change my life at all #Offtopic #SorrybutIneedtosaysmth I have been failing math ever since 2nd year I think.. yet I got good enough marks on my tests (72% in one that I expected to fail in ) but come state exams and I get 30%.. but then my dad gets furious, and then just says okay, we will try again at summer, and I hope you bring your grade up to D. It didn't happen. This year too so far, but I tried very hard at Christmas test, sacrificed my time to do math and I think I did well enough, I hope a D, though my teacher is strict at marking.. so back to my own ways -.- Sadly, no one in my family done higher maths and that's what is wrong, I cannot get enough help for it. I educate myself and get help from friends/internet for math, as they are smarter at it.. I prefer written subjects. It's much less hassle and I do every homework for it. I get loads of Irish homework but I still do it better and without stress than math. The same with English, French, Biology and Geography! My grades are high there and also in another maths subject - Accountancy (which I got an A at midterm) but that's simple math and less stress. LOL that part about the other student getting the same mark with grammar mistakes I find it strange when ''underachieving'', ''messers'', ''foolish'' students get better marks and work than me sometimes, someone in my class got an A in English and he is foolish most places. About homework, I agree. Though when I get reading homework, do I read it? 89% of the time no Because I have an understanding of it, especially with comprehension questions, essay.. I did much work for English and got great work, but the flaw was I needed to expand my vocabulary. Srs, I wrote like 2 pages for each character in a drama we were doing and THAT's the outcome? ;_; okei I need math for college, sure, but I also need Irish for college, English for college, so.. I hate it with a passion, but down the line I'll hopefully improve. Since this year I have used Irish more frequently, taken more interest into it and prefer it over Math.. #LongPost #Schooldiscussionsry #kisses

I'm lucky by knowing how everything with taxes, the political system, insurance is working as I chose social sciences as my elective subject.

I am also pretty bad at maths during the last 2 years but not too bad This year we wrote two exams yet and we already have our grades for the first one. I expected to get a 5 (in Germany, 1 is the best and 6 the worst) but in the end I got a 3- I was so happy about it and went home and told my parents. My mother wasn't happy and said "Oh, I expected at least a 2" and I was like "Wtf, during the last weeks I said almost every day, that I don't want to get this lovely exam back because I expect a bad grade ! Did you even listen to me back then !?" Imo, I failed the 2nd exam even harder (this time I really expect a 5 ) but I just failed in the 1st half where we had to do exercises without our calculator. That's unfair imo, we don't need to do exercises without calculators in the future so it's unfair, if I get a bad grade for something, which is easy with a calculator I'm generally bad at sciences, that's because I didn't continue Physics and Chemistry . I had to continue Biology but I'm not good there either ;__;

I'm not logical. I prefer written subjects as well (French/English/History/..) but I picked an exam with a lot of maths, biology, physics and chemistry x'D #FrenchSchoolSystem #SorryForTheOutOfTopic

I'm not logical as well. My favourite subjects in school are a weird combination imo: Maths, French, Chemistry
Haha and I really don't know in which subjects I want to make my final exams in 1.5 years :-|

I've always done nice in Maths actually. Now I would fail so hard (last maths lesson was in July 2012 ) Now I have only 3 subjects. At each of them I don't like either the subject itself or the teacher.

Hmmm I'm only bad at Maths and "Counting" (we've an idiotic minister for Education which thought it would be cool to introduce more senseless Maths stuff. ) Counting is a kind of Maths but then easier. I'm good at Dutch, English (did I ever thank the members of these forums for making my experiences with English better? ), History (such an awesome teacher this year haha), Biology (weird enough ) and Economics (I'm pretty good at it because it's with a lot of "logical thinking"... but counting taxes and stuff is pretty hard.) Edit: I realize I'm great at Geography but the last time I've had Geography is 2 years ago...
