Anyone else agree. I woke up this morning, tried to do my homework, and couldn't get crap. Am I the only one that naturally sucks at math? I can't believe it. This whole year I haven't been able to get anything that I am learning, and it seems like always I have to go in after school for extra tutoring. Oh, and I'm Asian, so technically I'm supposed to be good at math.......
I hate math too. You get homework every single day, as well on Fridays. but i get it though. Itd kinda hard. What math are you taking? I am taking Geometry as a freshmen in high school.
I SUCK at math. I have algebra, and I barely understand that ****. I get A's in homework because my teacher doesn't correct homework. But I almost always fail the quizzes and tests. Brian, I have never seen an asian suck at math, my teacher is asian.

You got a supporter here. Ever since Grade 12 (when I last took a math course), my math skills have steadily decreased. I remember this summer when I was applying for a factory job. On the application they had a small section for basic mathematical skills that was supposed to take 5 mins. Took like 15-20 for me. I hate the 12 times table.
^ Me too they are real easy <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Carter:</div><div class="quote_post">Geometry?

This dude, he is asian, he sits right by me, on tests, he asks me for the answer, He is like the 2nd dumb asian i know.
Yep I've also been noticing that I seemed to have peaked my math skills at around freshman year in high school and I've actually gotten dumber and forgotten most of the stuff that I learned up to that point. I'm even worse when I've got to use math for science and I'm taking chemistry so I'm basically screwed this year (the teacher seriously asked me in front of the class if I belonged there twice and both times I told him no but I guess he just thought I was being a smartass...that guy is a dick). I'm a f***ing ace at English, history, geography, etc. though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Neh I am sorta smart, but I suck at math, and dont get sometimes stuff.</div> I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that you don't do too well at english either.
From my experience, it's the individuals who teach math that make it harder than it should be. Most math professors our out of touch with reality and don't have the creative ideas to make math interesting. I'm sure if your math teacher's told you to keep the stats of a boxscore and apply the data into various formulas you'd have a lot more interest.
I used to be good at math until I took the advanced courses at the university level, which quickly put me in my place. Oh and I'm asian too btw. In regard to asians being good at math, in general, yes asians are better than the other races but there's still a lot who are just as clueless as everyone else. In fact, of all my asian friends, I'm the only one who's actually decent at it (although, we're all filipino, so I don't know if we'd be considered one of those "mathematically smart asians")
I hate it. The course I am taking right now (which will be my last) is really hard, but I hope I will get a passing grade. The course is almost all about derivatives, and I'm having a bit of trouble trying to grasp the concept.
Ouch. Calculus. The one thing I hated about high school math was that every year depended so heavily upon the previous. So all it took was one crappy teacher, like shape described, to really throw you off for the next one.
The highest math I completed in school was Algebra, and it took me two times. So there you go, math sucks.
Yea I pretty much suck at Math too. I guess I hate it because I don't do as well, comparing to History. Of course a few times I ended up with brain dead math teacher that really didn't help the cause either. In conclusion, SCREW MATH!
