What were your worst subjects in high school? For me, it was math and chemistry.

@summersong I could do math problems and write up a lab just fine. Tested great. Asking me to write a story or essay was pure torture. A long winded, time consuming chore. God was it boring and they always wanted three pages written for something that could be wrapped up in ten bullet points.

@summersong You sound like my sister.lol
I'd always get a D on a writing assignement because I wouldn't put any "passion" or whatever into what the assignment was. But damn it lady I have no passion for this crap. " write about your vacation" [quote]we got in the car. Then we drove to Darien Lake. They have lots of rides there. I went on some. It was fun. Then we went home[quote/]. Just the facts ma'am, no fluff. I am fundimentally opposed to fluff by nature.

@summersong I struggled with tue rigidness and strictness of private Catholic school. It sounds hyperbolic but it was kinda soil crushing. My sister on the other hand seemed to thrive in the regimented and clear cut rigidity of it. By time I was in High school and not in that sysyltem anymore the well was just so poisoned and I had a bad attitutde towards the whole scene. In JR high I fugured out I could get out of certain classes if I faked a reading disorder. It lasted for about 4 months until we had these state issued competency tests and I did too well on them. Which resulted in a meeting with my mother and her alerting them to the fact I was an avid book and encyclopedia reader. Total backfire, I was put back in regular classes, now had to take a foreign language again, and then had to go to conseling to see if I had self-destrucive and defiance issues. I just wanted to lesrn sciences, math, and arts. History was interesting. Loved the reading and testing on that, vut again they would want these written/typed reports and essays that just ruined it.
God I hated writing. To this day I hate writing and typing.

This made me actually lol. I think if anyone suggested my kid be evaluated for the same I’d laugh and tell them there was no question 😂
Forced writing is kind of miserable. I can write (and write well) but I never finished a single paper in HS without an all-nighter right before it was due.

@summersong I mean yeah, I probably did have a few but their reasoning for being tipped off was kinda absurd.
IDK, it's like the staff at Catholic school were so out of touch with reality they couldn't grasp why a child wouldn't want to there and try to get out of as much as they possibly could. In public high school the teachers were enlightened enough to understand full well why a kid wants to skip class and avoid as much homework as possible.
