Week 3 - Personal History

What subjects did you like the least? Why?

MOM:
My least favorite subject in school was math.  I took a lot of math classes, but I didn't like them as much as English.  I went as high as Algebra 3 & 4 in high school, then I quit.  I asked my guidance counselor why I needed so many math classes, and he said that I didn't need any more, so that was it.  I liked math in the 2nd and third grades, but that was all.  I think that you either like math or you don't.

JACKIE:
The subjects I least liked were history and math, in school.  Well, I actually liked math up until geometry then I couldn't understand the mathematical solution very well.  And history was interesting, but the tests were hard.  I had a hard time remembering the spelling or dates correctly (so i got them wrong) yet, i remembered the stories and photos, and pictures correctly.    And in math was the same, if i could understand the logic.  If the problem was not something I could visualize, i could not get the correct answer.

STACY:
My least favorite subjects in school were English and History.  That is kind of funny because my mother was an English teacher.  I thought writing essays and papers in English were hard and boring.  I thought it was very subjective when the teacher graded papers.  I didn't like history because I thought it was boring about wars and such.  Only until I took economic and architectural history in college did I realize that history could be interesting.
