Omigosh, I'm totalling failing math!

lol.

Just kidding.

If we have one of these, we need a work chat place too! Biased towards students!!

But yeah, I rocked at English (got published, TWICE, once for a poem and once for a short story), and Math was my worst subject. Keepin' it relevant since 1988, babeh.

Haha, math was my worst subject too.

All of my teachers had no clue how to keep students interested in the work.

And grats on your publishings, any chance you could show us them sometime? Wink

Well, the poem is totally emo and lame, but I can definitely post my story.

That's cool.

We only had a few honors classes, four or so, the staple subjects. Everything else was like History and stuff that would vary from year to year, and it was just one class everybody got grouped together in. Bad funding and all. But we did get AP courses in my last year there and I was in both, or I would have been if a schedule mess-up hadn't left me without the ability to attend to English AP. I was pretty pissed.

I've never put much value on grades, I guess. I put value on my English skills because it's one of the things I'm best at, and I write and I enjoy having one thing that I really excel in. The rest of it was like, do I really care about these subjects? Nah. I mean, the stuff that's going to be valuable to me someday, I'll keep, but, you know, I was never going to worry about getting into a highly reputable college because I don't have a solid career to gain from the thing I'm best at, and I don't want to be a teacher. Because teaching would suck.

See, I liked math myself, but then, I had a hot teacher =]
English was my worst subject, mainly because I failed to grasp how much it would affect my life, and now I realise too late.
I just hope I got at least a C so I get in college =]
I think I did fine though =]
