Yup, me too.
Under “effort”, my grade cards usually had the notation, “Is capable of greater achievement” (or words to that effect).
I always thought that chemistry and math were designed to keep me down.
Pretty much felt the same! I’ve got the basics down pat, no problem. Can do some basic trigonometry when needed. And then be never needed any of the higher level stuff for anything in my adult life. And I’ve worked in an electrical utility for the last 15 years, and manually computed mortar fire when our computers were down when I was in the Army. The vast majority of people don’t need it.
