Topic	Was Math your least favorite subject back when you were in school?
Squall28 12/03/21 10:55:29 AM #28:	YookaLaylee posted... Yes. Im good at mental math, but the teachers wouldnt give me any credit if I didnt show my work. Once we got to Algebra nothing ever made sense to me again. I hate how precise math is. Even if you do follow the formula perfectly but you accidentally made one small mistake with your calculations the entire thing is wrong. Thats why English was always my favorite subject. Reading is fun and you can interpret the texts however you want as long as youre able to explain your reasoning. Plus online Cliffnotes and the teachers outright telling you the interpretation that they like in class made it easy to ace tests and essays I found the opposite to be true. In math, if you followed sound logic and showed your work which you should be able to do if you know what you're doing, it would be right. It's very clear cut on whether you get points for something. English on the other hand was hypocritical as fuck. They'll tell you it's subjective, but then if your opinion is different from the teacher, they'll mark it wrong. As for the topic, math was my favorite subject after science. Least favorite subject was social studies because it was just memorization. I prefer classes where you learn a few concepts and then can apply it to a variety of different problems. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis <cite>Squall28 posted [p:960583037] in Was Math y...
