Writing was dead-easy, as was grammar and everything, but for some reason in classes and standardized tests I always did poorly (relatively) in Reading classes. On tests it was the "reading comprehension" sections that I did badly in - I was a fast and competent reader, well above the crowd in how much I read and at what level, but apparently I didn't cut it in "comprehension". It led me to believe to this day that "reading comprehension" tests are fundamentally flawed, because for some reason I consistently did much more poorly on exclusively that section of general tests. As for classes, I probably did badly because I never read anything the teacher assigned - I was a bit rebellious, reading what I want when I want (fuck this R.L. Stein, I'm reading Jack London!), so naturally the pop quizzes were a killer.

Math and Science always just made sense to me... completely logical.

although i am at most a good speller, and i would read way beyond my reading level, i always had a problem with reading comprehension. I hated boring stories, so i had a problem with knowing what i just fuckin' read a lot of the time. especially when taking tests on some article about trees and shit... how do they expect a kid with ADD to know what he just read when it was about something as fuckin' boring as trees.

and grammar sucked too at times because

1. i never found it useful, so it never stayed in my mind after a few months

2. i still don't even know why i should know what an antithesis is... why is it important to know what parallelism is... for when i have to write an analysis on something? "lol, the author uses parallelism".

lol, good point.

Math and science are 1000% more useful in anyone's daily life.

There's something human about "stories" though.

And this comming from an aetheist who thinks nothing matters anyway.

Reading and writing are subjective which makes them more difficult to learn.

I believe that linguistic subjects seem both easy and fun. Science is fascinating but not as fun. I cannot stand math, it's not that i am bad at it, you just eventually succumb to boredom instead of concentrating.

Oddly, I always scored way high on standardized tests here, but was constantly failing the classes. I gave up. Now I write.

I never even bothered paying attention in math because i plan to be a artist when i get older and math has nothing to do with art.

I always find maths and science the most difficult, especially algebra in maths.

That was probably because I was brought up reading books.

I had no trouble with Science but Math was a thorn in my side.
