We all have those subjects from school, that we either hated or just weren't any good at. Usually it's a mixture of both of the above.

Take me, for example. I literally just walked out of a maths exam with the full knowledge that to pass both papers would be a miracle. I couldn't put my pen to the paper to come up with a reasonable answer ONCE. Instead, I just wrote out a bunch of random crap, crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.

So, I thought I might ask everyone a question, purely out of interest... What was that one subject in school/college/university that you just simply couldn't do, no matter how much effort you put into it?

I didn't like math either. I wasn't bad at it, but my problem was paying attention. Kind of a space shot in school. And if you miss something in math, often you're lost.

Political science because the teachers mostly considered what they were teaching to be fact when in fact it was most obviously opinion.   I argued a lot in those classes.

Sounds a bit like english. There's no right or wrong answers, but if your interpretation isn't 'correct' they penalize you  

French without a doubt.

Like the wise Homer Simpson once said "English! Who needs that? I'm never going to England" I thought along the same lines about French class and then when I went to Paris years later I knew absolutely nothing other than "bonjour"

Some consider it the language of love - me, I considered it the language of boredom!

Good luck with the maths exam, Dan.

Latin

Ecce romani.... something something something... Unless I'm jumping in a time machine anytime soon, I'm sure i wont come across anybody who wants to speak Latin in upstate New York...

I can always tell them that Flavio runs to a tree!! Oh yes I learnt a lot a school

They let you in  ! Quelle surprise!

Ironically, since this is a writing site,  it was English, Infact any language. I seemed to have changed with age, I would like to say its like the maturing of a fine wine but I'm sure there are better metaphors.

Maths for me. Always, always maths. It was like being expected to fluently speak a foreign language you've never heard of, let alone studied. I can do basic things -- addition, subtraction, the multiplication table, etc. -- but anything more complicated than that just goes right over my head.

I remember even in high school my mother getting into fights with my maths teachers, trying to get them to take it easy on me. In retrospect, that's a little embarrassing. But at least I was right when I told all my teachers that I'd never need to use that bullshit.

Sucked at Math...

I hated Maths and so failed but I only had to redo it and thankfully passed it the second time round.

I actually went in to my English Literature exam having not read the subject book, Of Mice and Men, and somehow can out with a 'C'. That's a pass in England.

I also disliked Science too.

I hated Science. I was pretty good at everything else, although English pissed me off. Why couldn't we get an A, just to speaking in complete sentences? Why do we also have to read these books and do reports on them?

But, there was not a single Science subject that I enjoyed. Life science, Earth science, Anatomy or Chemistry. I hated them all.

Quoted from Mr. Blonde Life science, Earth science, Anatomy or Chemistry. I hated them all.

What?  We did Chemistry, Biology and physics.

I hated creative writing.  :-)

I kind of liked all my classes.  Psychology was by far my favorite.  I guess if I hated anything, it would've been geometry, and I did kind of suck in it, too.  Which is weird because I did great in Math and calculus.

Quoted from alffy What?  We did Chemistry, Biology and physics.

Obviously. Your school system probably isn't a joke like ours is.

Quoted from Mr. Blonde I hated Science.

I love every moment of science. Does that mean I'm any good at it? Heck no! I'm horrible with all the 'logical' subject, it seems
