Well, I hated math in school and did horribly in it. Look several decades later and I’m working in the water treatment business and suddenly math made sense because I could apply it to somethings that I was using in the real world. That’s where I learned how to do math and also to run Microsoft whatever XL spreadsheets and put formulas into the simplify my life in the water business for chemical calculations and such so the damned teacher was right after all. “you’ll need this someday.”
lol- they told me that too- I did try- and probably coulda done better if i had concentrated more effort towards it- but for some reason- i have a partial photographic memory with many things, but with math i just can’t see it in my mind like i could with other subjects- i could always see the page, paragraph, the sentence needed to answer the quiz etc, and pictures on the pages etc of other subjects- but not math-
