I hate Math.

I've failed Math the last two years. I realize that my failure is mainly due to laziness and flat out not doing the work, but most of my laziness and unwillingness to do the work comes from not understanding the subject. I try to, I really do. I've gotten extra help outside of school and everything. I just can't wrap my mind around numbers. It's frustrating.

But if I fail it again, I have to take a credit recovery course next year... which I really, really don't want to do. I realized that a bit too late, and so I failed the first quarter. I made a B+ for second quarter, only because I busted my ass. I worked so hard for that B. So I was excited for it, and proud of myself.

Today, we calculated what we'd have to score on the semester exams to get a certain grade in the class. The highest I can possibly score overall for the semester is a D+. It's passing, but it's depressing. Totally my fault, I know. It just makes me sad because I worked so hard for that B I have this quarter, and the highest I can get for the semester is a D. :sad:
 
I've been in the same boat for about 3 years now. Math never really was my thing. I cried myself to sleep a couple times in elementary school because my mother yelled at me for not understanding division. Not kidding.

I've failed algebra two out of the three years of my high school career, even after tutoring. And I'm just as lazy as you are.:D
I made a B last quarter, but after that, basically slacked off believing I could ride high on that one good grade. Big mistake.

All I can really offer as advice is to give it your all and do the work. Can't feel bad knowing you tried, right?

Oh shit, that reminds me, I have math finals tomorrow.
 
what level math is this?

i'd say you should create a challenging project that directly relates to some of the main topics you struggled with, and present it to your professor/teacher, making it due upon your return from the holiday break.

if your latest grading period is strong, ask that the weighting of the first grrading period(the one you failed?) to be skewed so that your semester average reflects your progress.

make an appointment and go talk to your teacher.
if you can't, then
construct a hand written letter and leave it for him/her.

your grade will certainly not go down, and it will possibly go up, if you can back it up with some numbers.
 
I fucking hate math. I failed out of math my senior year in High School. I'm way too lazy to try. I mean I vaguely get it, but honestly I could care less. The funny thing is, when I try, I'm really good at it.

When I took the placement test for college, I tested into a 200 class...I've never taken anything higher than high school Pre-cal, and frankly I don't want to.
 
I'm failing Physics II, Device & Circuits, Engineering maths, Electric Circuits. I just hate maths because I'm too lazy. I just like memorizing things. It's much easier.
 
I can speak it. I can write it. I can read it. So why the fuck do they have to teach us the technical aspects of the language? Gerunds, infinitives, fucking cats climbing up trees, I'M SICK OF IT!!
 
Thanks for the offering in tutoring, but I've had tutors before. Most of them give up on me because I'm so hopelessly lost when it comes to Math. Which is sad, considering I'm in a remedial math class. I understand the work in there, to an extent. I'll be fine until about halfway through second semester, and it'll be all over my head. :sad:
