I had to take algebra 1 twice in highschool. The fist time I took a college level course, and failed, but passed my second year in the gen course. I then failed algebra 2 miserably, though I will say that year was wild for me, and I didn't really have fucks for math class. I half assed it and was not surprised I failed. You can't half ass math class.
For me, was that if I missed one lesson, it began this giant snowball effect where I couldn't catch up, so in case of my first year algebra, I gave up and failed. It's the only class I ever failed.
The class moved really fast, and I have adhd (unknown to me then). I could thrive in English, History ect because the lessons are structured differently. Math, you dont viciously pay attention, or need more time, I couldn't keep up with its pacing in highschool. Once imaginary numbers were introduced, I just, yeah.
Exactly me. I aced every English history science class and failed math miserably. Also adhd but not that bad.
Luckily computers can do it now so we dont need those skills as much but I still wish I had them.
