Nah, it's "cat's meow", I'm pretty sure.

Chem. Teacher had the look and voice of Krillen. Hated that class.

Economics. Teacher got caught looking at porn a week in. Had to have a sub the whole time. Passed but what did i learn? I learned that we work well in groups. Big groups. And how to sell weed.

You guys are breaking my heart with how many of you hated history. 🙁

Algebra and pretty much anything Math related. Honestly. Who uses Algebra?

Actually, History and Science were my favorite subjects in school. It was Math that I detested with a passion.

Everyone uses algebra, it's the foundation of problem solving. When you get beyond that, though, math becomes useless in everyday life.

i think the everyone uses algebra everyday is really over used and blown out of proportion...

i mean cro magnan and ancient man used it as well but we dont say it is was a big part of their lifes.. and sh#@..

last i checked i dont run around seeing the world in numbers like in the matrix...

if i use math it is on a subconscious lvl and purely instinctual and guess work from past experience... like what is the tax going to be on my shopping list and make sure i have enough.. like having a 100 bucks for something that cost 20 bucks not much math..

or leaving the house at a certain time b/c i need to be somewhere else at a certain time.. i find the right time of leaving by already knowing the route and how long it has taken in the past to get around a particular area.

might else say cavemen use math as much as we do in every day math when bartering for furs with meat and shiny rocks

I struggled with math and it wasn't til I had summer school a year ago I realized I had dyscalculia.

Cool! Do you have any other super powers?

i cant believe that it is even real...facepalm

we just keep finding new excuses.. not that i dont believe you had a harder time learning math then others just that some one would make it an actual learning disability and name it..

i mean back in the day you either had a very crappy teacher, lazy or lacked the comprehension skills to understand the wording and methods being used b/c you had nothing to help you base what they are saying..

its like having someone teach you math in russian while you only speak english its just gibberish.

you fix it by actually sitting down and having some one actually explain the concept and explain it in words you understand and know not some college math jargon that you never heard and dont have a math definition cheat sheet with the definition of the math word and symbol

thats why i was able to learn more and understand faster in study groups or the person next to me then the teacher in front of the class.. they would use words i understood and dumb it down for me.

When you can fix it that way it isn't dyscalculia.
