Your Weakness
I was thinking the other day about the class I was weakest in during my college years. I can think back to high school and it was probably AP Chemistry second year.
But in college it was Poetry by a long shot. I received a “C” in Poetry.
What was your weakest subject in high school?

math
Math
Geography. I always did the worst in that subject.
I sucked a Recess. I was all business. I didn’t have any time for horse play!!
Math. Sorry Parch.
school
I did really well in math. AP English and I, however, did not get along. In college, I struggled with history. My professor’s exam formats were just ridiculous.
Girls. I just didn’t understand them. Somehow, I still got an A in the class according to the teacher.
Biology was a horror :/
Sport and everything..):
Spanish. or English. I suck at both languages. but I speak one so i get a slightly better grade in that class than in the other. lousy language classes!
freshman chemistry, i almost flunked high school because of it. and now, six years later, i am an organic chemistry supplemental instructor and organize the organic chemistry labs at my university. who woulda thought…
In high school I did the worst in US Government and AP Economics. Luckily I excelled in my Economics courses in college, so I’m guessing it was just poor teaching skills on my HS teacher’s part.
Math… I miss it so much, I loved it!
chicken sexing
In high school? pfft… I don’t really know I was in all the smart kid classes and occasionally got a “C”. I was also really lazy, its not that the classes were ever that hard. If you want me to get really specific, I can tell you I hated learning the process of cellular respiration, and that is the only test I ever received a “D” on.
I sucked at geography
math, women
Earth Science. It was the teacher’s first year. He said he wanted to make it as hard as a college class because it was college prep. Lets just say for a bunch of 9th graders that did not end so well.
chem and calc. heck algebra II
I hate math the most but I’ve always tested out of it. My worst subject was Social Studies.
Trig. Oh, trig. The only class in my 13 years of school that I ever failed!
Oh and, I honestly would’ve failed biology and chemistry as well, had it not been for my hubby letting me cheat off of him. =/
Social interaction.
@godfatherofgreenbay - hahaha! What???
In high school, it was definitely anything related to science. Chemistry, physics…ugh. In college, so far at least, it’s been math. Although I’ve made A’s in the courses I’ve taken, they’ve still been the hardest and such a struggle for me.
@amateurprose - determining the sex of a chicken, it’s so difficult when they are so little and peeping at you
@godfatherofgreenbay - Oh! Well that isn’t nearly as deviant as it sounds!
Anything science or math related… I just didn’t have the determination to “learn” it!
Drivers Ed. I was too nervous. They gave me the young guy so I wouldn’t cause a heart attack in the older one. Seriously they said that! But after I started to trust myself and him I moved quickly and ended it with getting my license and have to this date (almost ten years) never been in an accident. (knock on wood). Although in the last two years I’ve rarely driven at all… so maybe that’s not saying much.
Algebra II.
Algebra II, math was not a problem. I was the “
i
” that screwed me up. The “
i
” being imaginary numbers. How can a variable, which is used ALL the time in physics, chemistry, Algebra I, and Geometry before we even hear about this “imaginary” number, be changed half way through your high school career. My teacher was frustrated with me because I failed to understand or “learn” the imaginary number formula and sequence. I was frustrated with the fact that it makes no logical sense in my mind.
Science and math!
Math. Now that I’m older, though, I don’t understand why. I spent most of my college career as a theatre technician, doing lots and lots of measuring and reading blueprints and calculating angles for platforms and flats and other buildables. But, you get me in the classroom where the numbers are abstract, and I’m completely lost.
Every subject….I passed with Ds in high school and failed college three times…dropping out once…
I excelled at everything, Dan
best was art and math. worst was physics lol. TOO CONFUSING!
Math! I sucked so bad I had to take summer school for it. Bleh!
Math in HS, Chemistry in college. I had such a rough time with math that I actually got sick before the final algebra exam sophomore year. And I’m really not an anxious person. But then in college, I got put in a special math class for artistic types, and I ended up finally understanding how it worked, and then when I transferred and had to take a “real” math class, I’d be the one telling the other people in my study group how to solve the problems.
Math =/
@PapaFish88 - I hated imaginary numbers too. I still don’t really get the concept. I always felt like “imaginary” things should be left for creative writing class.
I was a nerd in high school, got all As.
In high school? English, but because of a late assignment (which was NOT late – the teacher lost it) affecting my grade. If we’re going by what I was ACTUALLY not bueno at, it would have been history. At that point in my life, I was highly analytic and could NOT understand how people would take the time to memorize/develop a system for memorizing non-rational/scientifically-based facts. There just seemed to be no system to it – at least not for me.
I was weakest at Chemistry and Maths…ironic because I’m a Business Analyst now and all I do is deal with numbers!
Geometry.
Nothing
Math and economics.
In high school: Calculus.
College: French and psychology.
math
Math for sure. I struggled so much I would actually sit and cry while I did my homework. My friend ended up coming over to help on occasion and on those days, things were a little easier.
in HS, i sucked at geometry. good thing i never had to see its full blown face again until calc based physics in college. interestingly, physics went much better for me than geo., but physics was definitely my hardest college course; i had an unusual passion for it.
that totally depended. I have no talents but no extreme weakness either.
I left algebra class every night in tears. I never did pass that class.
high school was quite easy. I failed my science class, math class, and math lab in college because I ditched most of those classes in college. I dropped out. I make more money than college grads now. I work with computers
I’m like bill gates sortof except I’m bunny gates
my downfall is my upclimb or something.
it was math, but I dropped it, so now it’s biology.
Spanish.
kryptonite
Algebra
In high school, it was physics . In university, it is physics .
Afrikaans – it is a second language here in South Africa that we had to pass at school.
Math. Only because I didn’t take the time to study and really learn the material. I spent hours and hours a year ago in Math 081 and I passed with a B. I took a step up to 90 and my father died, and my study habits went else where (English 90, I got an A, btw) but, I truly believe if you take the time to really learn the material and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ask questions on how Math is, you’re golden.
I took CRW 160 (poetry) last semester and I got an A. I had the best time ever. How did you get a C, btw? Did you not push yourself?
Chemistry!! I passed by the skin of my teeth. I still don’t know how I was able to, to this day.
science. any kind. i can’t keep up.
Math; especially algebra.
Sex-ed. No matter how much I studied, I could never correctly identify the g-spot
Pretty much any science in High School. I’m doing okay in my college biology right now but I still hate science.
Calculus. The whole class cried after the mid term.
Calc. for Business & Social Sciences. Albeit I was dual-enrolled in a college-level class in high school. But still…BRUTAL, barely survived.
I hated English. But my worse subjects were Physical Education and Architecture/Drafting.
In college I think that would be mechanical engineering courses like mechanics of materials or biomechanics =/.
Math. I had to withdraw from my math class in high school. That’s sad. :/
Trig. I’m sure I could have learned it if I’d had a better teacher, but I just gave up after a while. She confused me in calculus, too but at least I was taking physics at the same time and had a really good teacher for that.
Chemistry, math. My fingers, toes, legs, and arms are crossed that I get into a Craft of Poetry class next spring
It’s kind of my thing.
Sex with the teachers. I think I would have done better if my teachers hadn’t all been male.
@Babyboomerjill - in high school I didn’t do well in sewing because my being lefthanded confused the teacher but she said that it wasn’t my problem but hers.
ps what is AP Chemistry?
Organic Chemistry.
Still in college but so far, organic chemistry. :/
P.E. I don’t have an athletic bone in my body.
as Billy explained I didnt know that a stay at home mom able to get paid $7613 in a few weeks on the computer. have you read this webpage NuttyRich.com
Math
History!
The maths and sciences (mostly Physics and Chemistry).
math…
