School sucks...
Anyone have issues with math? Math sucks all forms of ass imo, I'm sure theres a few ppl out there that like this stuff...how I have no idea...
I'm transfering to a university and just found out that my D in calc isn't good enough. Has to be at least a C to be accepted... but here's the messed up part, had I taken that class at the univ, and passed it with a D-, yes, a D- not a D which I got they would have accepted it. Isn't that murphys law? I've never been good in math so there goes my bachelors...Twentyinches Reviewed by Twentyinches on . School sucks... Anyone have issues with math?

Re-take Calc at a local community college. It's not bad the second time around...
Well, unless you're a slow math-uptaker like me... I had to take calc like 3 times before I 'got' it, and the second time, I failed so miserably I was actually kicked out of college. I'm not making this up. Good luck, don't give up, college is wicked rewarding on a lot of levels.

sorry about the MATH
Math is truely a numbers game
many differnt calculatory problems to solve
kinda like life
math is infinity
suck up the Math dont fight it
when your 50 it' will b different
once you learn it you will never forget the formula
eat5 sleep and drink the numbers, count the frosted flakes in your cereal bowl one
by one, then give each peep a flake
6 billion X 34 trillion then cut that
lol
good luck

Never give up.
Half of the problem is finding the way. The other half is following the path to the end.
Sometimes it takes a little creativity to see how to accomplish something.
Take a good hard look at your priorities and how you spend your time and energy, too. Sometimes fun things have to be put on hold in order to accomplish goals - I don't know your whole situation but that's a good reminder for everyone.

i sucked at math but i took a bunch of it anyway.
did bad sometimes but... it does feel good when it 'clicks.'
and usually its a lot easier than you make it out to be. you have to let go of all the negative stigma and dislike you have for it and just try to learn without all that bogging you down...
took me a few semesters but i ended up passing (and even doing well in) some calcs and linears and difficult economics math classes.
and i majored in ENGLISH !! so if i can do it anyone can, haha.

Man... after talking with lots of people who disliked math (as well as physics, chemistry, and the sciences in general), i noted that most of them disliked this subjects because they couldnt see any sense in it, and only memorizated the formulae without undertanding its meaning... so, of course it can make any subject awful... and i blame the teachers for it. They also dont know enough of the subject to make the students understand all the logic and meaning behind it, and just push all the formulae to the students memorize...
My advice (being an ex-teacher myself) would be to try to find someone who could explain you WELL, someone who would able to make you understand math, to see all the beautiful underlying logic and sense that exists behind it... im sure if you get a GOOD teacher that make you understand it, you wont dislike it anymore.
So, good luck! :thumbsup:

Still have to talk to the people at school about it...but if I have to do math in college I will never make it...
So keep your head up, there is many options..talk to you schools disability services, they are willing to work with you more than likely.
..oh and to get into college without having the high school math part done I opted for community college with a transfer...and it was no sweat.
