Algebra and English

I failed Algebra the first year because I missed three weeks at the beginning of the school year and the teacher didn't give a shite about you unless you were an honor roll student. The next year I made As and Bs under a different teacher.

I hated school and couldn't wait to get out, little did I know just how much I would use math in my offshore career. IWCF well control is damn near impossible to pass without knowing Algebra.

I made a D- in Physics; I think the teacher had a crush on me or something.

I loved Band until I made the advanced class and we had to transpose our music from the Key of C. Which sucked because I played in the key of Bb or F.

Just ac extra headache. Also in our band. Every mistake was 20 push-ups.

Trigonometry. Was the minimum requirement for math to graduate. I had mostly A’s except for math. My teacher rounded me up to a C- out of the pure kindness of her heart.

Physics but my teacher would tell some insane stories about dinner parties with Isaac Asimov, Russians and prostitutes.

That's not required, you sister frickin gump.

Economics was required and I was enrolled in mostly AP courses, so for me it was essentially required.

All that "factoring" long polynomials... you just guess at shite until something works anyway


Not anymore, most of these high school kids nowadays suck terribly at their multiplication, so none of them can factor like we did in the old days. They are learning some much longer way now to factor.

For most of the fatties here, probably gym class.




I'm a fatty and I had no issues with that. Of course, I wasn't a fatty in HS, more like a skinny TBH.

Chemistry


I had a dyslexic chemistry teacher my Junior year. The first day of school she came in and wrote her name on the board completely backwards. 50% of the entire junior class failed which was like 125 kids. That was her first and last year at the school. After the first month or so of not understanding it, I just tapped out. It was nap time for the rest of the year.
