I was always a good student and very good at math and most sciences. But, I did not like physics. All the theories and facts about electricity confused me, mostly the resistance part.
So, I decided to continue in the medical sciences - not nursing though - medical laboratory sciences.
The fact is, people differ in abilities and interests. It takes a combination of abilities and interests to become truly good at something.
Anyone who thinks dumbing down education standards is an idiot.
Yeah, magnetism and electricity were my weak areas in physics too. I managed to bulldoze my way through them though.
