Mine was math.
Algebra the most. I have never used algebra at any time in my whole life.
I was real good with history, English, and art.
I was ok in gym- just because I could run fast and tackle people in flag football. Of course I wasn't suppsed to tackle anybody in flag football, but I did anyway. I was little- I just wrapped my whole body around some big dumbass's leg and held on until he fell down. Which did not endear me into the jock crowd at all.
I liked science too.

^ I was actually not very good doing blueprints. It bored me. I was good in wood working. I knew how to work on cars easy- we did it at home and after school all the time. My best friends were gear heads. And farmers. I was neither. I was an artist. I was the 'hippie' of the gang.  :lookingup:

I wanted to take auto shop in HS, but was told I "wouldn't like it", & got talked into print shop....

Then in the wild world of employment, I never made my way out the bindery unless it was to janitorial, and I've got two motorbikes out in the garage that I don't know what to do with.

^ Well, f**k! No wonder you seem so p**sed off.  :bluesad:
If you were my neighbor, I could  ask my cousin Ronny to get that bike going! He won trophy's in enduros in the 70's and 80's. And he's a gear head from  the day he was born in 1958! He has winches and motors hanging from chains on trees all over 12 acres.

English. We studied a book called 'Cone Gatherers'. When we were being taught about the book they talked about how it was a parable of the life of Jesus. In an interview with the author, he said all that was so much bollocks. When it came to the exam, I answered the questions on it honestly and didn't score very highly.

Anything math related. To this day, anything beyond basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is out of my league.

...which was really fun during the last few weeks of my kids' Coronavirus-altered school year, where they were doing lessons online and asked ME for help with math stuff.

I have ADD, Asperger's, & dysgraphia, so I was bad at everything until the fourth grade & they finally put me in special class.

Then I got good at every thing, so they thought I was cured, so in the fifth grade they took me out of special class & I got bad at everything again, but they didn't understand why.

My second stent in the eighth grade I moved to El Paso, which didn't have special class at the time, so they put me in bad kids class, and as such, when I moved to Houston the following year, I got written off for bad kids class instead of special class.

Now I have PTSD.

^ I never finished school. I quit when I was 16.
I hated school. I hated my parents. I hitch hiked to NYC from Michigan. I was homeless in the Bronx for a year.

I hated school.

Same here. I was so glad when school was over. I closed the chapter by burning all my class photos and whatever school stuff I still had at home. Going to a class reunion never crossed my mind because most of the kids in my class were strangers, barely interacted with them all those years.

Worst subject? Religion. It was the worst because it was so boring. Our religion teacher was a mousy, humorless and uptight woman that never got married.

^ They taught you religion? There was no such class in the 70's. Where did you go to school at?

Germany. To be more precise it is called Religious education class here.

We have (or at least had, I have no idea if it is still compulsory), religious education classes in the UK as well. Also used to have some form of religious observance, but that was normally palmed off as daily recitation of the lords prayer. In all the years I had to say it I don't think I ever once said it right. Mostly as a kid, I was convinced the lords name was Harold.

...
I flunked Algebra in High School and had to retake it the following year. 
Several years later, I had to take it in college in order to move forward.  It was one of the happy coincidences of my life because at that time, I had a job in which I had to write algorithms.  I aced the course because algorithms are all Algebra and the job and course intersected perfectly.  I advanced quickly and eventually got the only job I loved.  I worked in that job the longest of any job I've had.
