What was the most difficult subject in school?

Same here. That's why I'm an English major.
 
I was always more into the 'humanities' and found subjects like Chemistry, Physics and Calculus way out of my league. I dropped them in Years 11 & 12 (last two years of high school in Oz) for subjects like English Lit, History & French.
 
General math. I could understand algebra, but not long division. I still don't get it. Thank God for calculators.
 
chemestry was the devil. as was geometry, but i had 2 of the WORST geometry teahcers in the school. lord it was bad. other sciences i was ok in, bio was mastly facts, physics was cool beacuae even fi you screwed up, you got an A. you just had to know how you screwed up. really, when i think about it, i hated the class if i hated the teacher. on the other hand, i loved my american government/political science teacher, but the class was incredibly boring, so that ruined it for me. i hate politics.
 
Oh God...what is with math and science? (I'm studying math and physics..so...)

In highschool I liked basically every course I took...calculus, algebra/geometry, physics, chemistry, biology, English, music ...even law to some extent. I generally didn't find anything in highschool difficult...but the most difficult would have been music or English.

The work itself is not more difficult...in fact it's easier to pull something off...but if you have a high expectation for yourself, or your teacher does, it can be quite difficult (there's also a whole range of what is "good" and not everyone agrees)....and being good in math/science I was used to very, very, very high marks (simply because they're very possible and reasonable in math/science), which were not the case (numerically) in English and music.

Now I find math the most difficult because there is so much of it....so many things one could study...and it's not as easy to pull off as some of the higher year philosophy courses I tried this year (although thinking about the philosophy isn't easy, just easier to get the task accomplished with reasonable succcess according to my prof's marking).

Calculators RULE!!!

Calculators can't construct a mathematical proof (yet)! (And they can't help in some situations without one)
 
well.. i never had a problem understanding the work... my only problem in school was staying interested in the work... i always got bored and just didn't bother doing assignments because I already knew the answers and there was no real challenge in it...

the subjects that were the worst for me were accounting and history though... accounting because it was the same thing over and over and over.. history because well.... its history... lots of crazy people.. killing their wives and fucking their mother... or invading countries.. whoopdeedoo.....

math was ridiculously boring... I was too good at it..... i remember napping during the class.. drawing... rarely ever doing the work... and my friends would get stumped on a question.. ask me how to do it.. I would do it... and tell them what they did wrong... I once skipped 4 weeks of math class.. missed a whole chapter and ended up showing up on the day of the test for it.. and I still got high marks on it... it was ridiculous


I've rambled enough...

Yeah, they could really make the curriculum a little more challenging...even in my last year of highschool, I missed a good chunk of my exam (stupid Mississauga transit) and still got a ridiculously high mark (not just a high mark for someone who missed half the exam).

For some reason I never got bored with any of it though...(guess that's why I'm still doing it all the time).
 
High School Math. I had to take it five out of six semesters and, thankfully, finished off with a 70% mark in grade 12. I did this just so I could attend university. Now, twenty years later, I'm reasonably successful - and I still don't have to find X. Go figure!
 
For me, it was Foreign Language. Kinda ironic that I started my teaching career as an English as Second Language specialist... Thank God my students knew the basics of English otherwise we would have both been lost.

In college, I majored in English literature and psychology. After three years of teaching ESL, I transferred to the math department and have been there ever since... it's definitely opened my eyes to the pitiful state of education in America. (PM me for details).

For some reason it was micro-biology. I had the hardest time with it.

yeah I was always done the exams within an hour or so.. I usually spent my time doodling on the backs of the sheets... which got me a bonus mark in my art class ..|

there was one exam that was sooooo challenging though... it was for my sci-fi english class.. and it was based on a project we did a couple months before where we wrote a 6 chapter short story (in journal form) that uses real science with our imaginations and what not... anyway.. the reason it was challenging is because we were supposed to write a 7th chapter... well.. it shouldn't have been a problem except well I killed off everyone at at the end of my story.. so i had to think of a way to bring the main character back to life... #-o


I rambled again...
 
MATH!!!!


I was terrible at math.....

Great at history and english...

So-so in sciences...

Terrible in math!
 
Geometry (I couldn't memorize all of those theorems and postulates no matter how hard I tried to!) and Chemistry (balancing a formula is STILL a mystery to me!)


It is ironic that I teach the advanced math class for 5th grade However, I am only teaching sixth grade level math curriculum....
 
Wow - all these terrible math experiences! Speaking as a university math lecturer, I find all this very sad - and completely understandable. For one thing, I doubt that anyone of you has ever had a taste of real Mathematics; most of what you did and hated was applied arithmetic, badly taught, and with lack-lustre, dull texts.

My worst subject was English, mainly because I never could construct a decent essay, and I had the emotional maturity of a kindergarten child.
