Math, no question about it.  It's a language I just don't get.  Passed only by luck.

Ironically, part of my job is being bookkeeper and other assorted financial duties.  I'm self-taught and, very good at it.  I guess if given something mathematically oriented I can do it if it's something I relate to.  Balancing books makes sense to me.  Doing long algebra or geometry equations, did not.

Ditto to all that.

Home Economics! Yuck! One of the semesters I got a D in it. I hated that class and it such a waste of time.

My least favorite subjects were Geography and Math and now I'm paying for not listening as much as I should.  I can't find my way around, always getting lost and I can't do anything with numbers unless I use my calculator. 

So students out there, listen and learn

I happen to know that this woman cannot drive out of her 10-mile radius from her house! And that's the truth! 
 So help me God.

Gym.  One reason I picked the private high school I did was that they had NO gym!  Now, 35+ years later, they have added one and have required classes.  SO glad I missed THAT!!

I hated gym  too.  Not at all athletic and I hated having to play sports with the athletic types.  Kansas required that all high school freshmen and sophomores take gym at least all those years ago don't know if it is still required.  I went to a Kansas state university and the state required that college kids take one year of gym for a degree.  Luckily though because of larger facilities and more equipment they had a class where you just worked out instead of playing sports.  I liked that much better.

generally speaking, i disliked school -- everything about it. the more years i attended, the more i disliked it.

however, i did enjoy mathematics. that is, once i had a teacher that actually explained it well and made it an enjoyable learning experience. during my school years, i didn't like most subjects. but as an adult, i find myself interested in learning about different subjects and do so quite often online.

oh, and i absolutely hated gym too. i still don't exercise, but do get a very good workout by doing things around my house and outdoors (like tending the gardens, mowing the lawn; moving, stacking, then moving indoors literally masses of firewood each year, and etc).

I loved school in general.  Geometry was my worst subject.  I have a vision problem so I see in 2D for the most part so working with a math that aimed to describe 3D images was just miserable for me.  Still I enjoyed that more than Macroeconomics.  I think that was the most bored I'd ever been.  It was the only class I dropped after two classes.
