What was your worst subject in school?

Higher math in general, especially algebra. Except for geometry. I was pretty decent at that. But algebra and trig were the bane of my existence.

math/handwriting

English and Spanish. I couldn't keep up with all of the rules to language. As far as math goes I couldn't get past calculus .

Calculus kicked my ass.

I sucked at chemistry in high school because I was too lazy to keep up, but I took it in college and aced it easily. Calculus was the only thing I could never really grasp. Weird because other than that I'm good at math. I liked algebra and I'm really good at statistics.

Gym! I hated gym! I also hated lunch and any other period where I was forced to team up and/or intermingle with others. I did pretty good in math. My high school Algebra teacher said he gave me an A because I looked sad.. but I also did well in the class so I don't know why he said that. I do remember getting annoyed with the length of time it took to write out and "show your work" so I may have chosen not to complete all of my homework.

Maths in general: the one subject I never liked and have never used in my career ever.

Oddly enough, even though I'm the nerdy type, I loved playing sports and still do - cricket and soccer for preference.

My rugby career came to a screeching halt when I put the school bully in hospital.

It seems like math was the worst for most of us folks.
Which is ironic- because I had to do lots of math when I worked at Honee Bear. I had to keep track of every f**king pallet of canned fruit for 30 odd years! Plus it was hot! And we got payed s**t! I had to operate some of the most piece of s**t 1930's machinery, because the boss was a cheap tightwad! I swear- if he farted it would squeak like a leaky balloon!

^ 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.

I have never heard of this. Dam. I know they taught religion in Catholic schools back in the 60's, because I was in an upstate NY Catholic orphanage for about-I don't know how long. Maybe a couple months.
It wasn't so bad! Sister Nina would wake me up late so I could go to her room and watch 'Night Gallery'! She was cool! This hippy guy with a white guy afro took us to see the YELLOW SUBMARINE! On the way back to the orphanage he decided it would be faster if we took the shortcut trail threw the woods. So we did- and walked into a f**king forest fire! So we ran back and he started yelling " FIRE! FIRE!" once we hit town! We were heroes!

I kind of had a similar experience with Sociology. In my senior year of high school I totally bombed it because I couldn't keep up with the work. The next year I took Sociology at the local community college and totally aced it. I think part of it too was that the instructors - the one at the college was so good at teaching the subject. He was taken far too early (cancer).
