What subject in school you had to most trouble in?

Hard to choose.

Math was easy and I loved algebra for some reason.

I had issues with English class because when asked to write opinion essays I didn't understand how someone could possibly mark that as being right or wrong because it was my opinion. I've always been good at spelling, not so much at grammar and punctuation - overuse of commas, run on sentences, terrible paragraphs, I can't figure it out. I also can't read for long periods of time before my eyes go all weird and unfocused.

I don't think we had a social studies class in my school unless it was called something else. I don't know what social studies would be... do you learn how to socialize?

History I had very little interest in and so did poorly due to lack of effort. Except for my model plane I carved out of soap for a project. I still have it now.

PE was easy enough to get a passing grade but being overweight meant I was never going to shine in that area.

I'd say of those choices English was probably the worst for me. I've since figured out some reasons why I had trouble in that class but back then it was a bit of a nightmare.

In Australian schools or at least mine we weren't graded at PE, we just had to do it so it didn't really matter how bad we were at it. Still I hated it. I hated competing against other people. I felt that the opposition was truly my enemy and I had horrible motor skills too.

By comparison with my peers, I didn't have trouble in any subjects other than English writing (not the technical but the composing aspect; I hate writing essays), Art (no talent) and some parts of PE (not very fit and no coordination).

The only subjects I liked were Geography and PE (when we played hockey (well, "Unihok", you got to hit people with sticks) or rugby (you got to run into people) or did cross-country running; the rest wasn't interesting and I've never been particularly strong or fit or had any technical skill at anything except from running long distances fairly slowly )

I voted "English."

I have trouble doing PE. I can't jump, I can't run, I could only cry....

I can't grasp higher math concepts. I always failed it, all the way through the first year of high school. I was so thoroughly baffled by algebra that I got zero all year, and at the end, the teacher gave me 51 so I wouldn't have to take it again the next year. After Grade 9, math was an elective subject, and since I didn't have to take it, I didn't. I would have done even worse with calculus and trigonometry, if it were possible to do even worse! I don't even know what those things are. I've often wondered if I have dyscalculia.

I didn't do well at PE, either. Nobody ever explained the concept of sports to me and I never grasped it on my own. After elementary school, I didn't take any further PE classes. The PE teacher in high school was a stereotypical jock, with a mean streak a mile wide, and he took great pleasure in making an example of boys who were not sports-inclined. He had one poor kid stand up by the wall, while all the other boys threw medicine balls at his head. They broke his glasses and gave him a concussion. That was one kind of torture to which I was NOT going to subject myself!

Wow I thought I was unusual for aspies not being good at maths. But my worst had to be PE. ugh I don't even wanna think about it

Math and science, I dont think I ever got below an a in pe.

P.E. I got E's in that due to poor teamwork skills and thin skin.

It's not an option on the poll, but definitely art. I mean, I can appreciate drawings/painting/etc., I can completely visualize what I want to be my end-result, I just can't draw at all. I don't know how to do draw anything advanced. It doesn't help my teaching consisted of "Draw this" rather than "You can draw this by doing this", so there wasn't much potential for learning, either.

PE. It didn't help being a big asthmatic who had poor motor skills.

PE... but maths was an odd beast. Sometimes I'd excel at it, other times I'd have a brain melt down, and find myself sent down to remedial. I found out later that as well as being dyspraxic I'm dyscalculic, so it's amazing I did as well in maths as I did. Basically the split in my function was between arithmetic and mathematics. Mathematics I was great at, arithmetic, I'd often melt down.

I came close to failing PE, while I actually did fail maths...
I can't decide between them though, since I really did lousy in both and hated them equally.

English classes.

I had a short attention span that made reading the assigned materials very difficult and the classes were all about discussing an opinion on the readings(which I loathed to do due to poor social skills).

If the classes were more focused on teaching grammatical technique and structuring of writing, I would have been more interested.

definitely math (very dycalculic.) also PE, and later history. i'm not sure why history was such a problem, but it was really a struggle.

The wrath of math.
