I think I did act up in classes I REALLY hated, like French, Spanish and typing. I guess I just felt trapped.
I didn’t act up in math, because I was simply depressed and discouraged by having to be there, and I just could not do the work. French, Spanish and typing I could have done if I had applied myself, but not math. And there was no getting out of it, either.
I am not proud of doing that, but with some years between it, it seems hilarious to me that I would have done it. I was a very quiet kid, though that doesn’t seem to indicate it.
Sounds like me, brother. I cannot to this day handle anything more complicated than long division. I only had Latin in High School. It was only as an adult that I discovered that I had a talent for languages
