I wrote this some time ago....someone else referred to it on FB recently (yes...a woman.) What makes us detest certain subjects at school, and why is Maths (or Math) frequently at the top of the list? It can't always be bad teachers....
http://deponti.livejournal.com/902082.html I find that a lot of people on this list articulate far, far better than I do. It would help me understand my lifelong aversion to mathematics...and the odder fact that though I never scored more than 40 percent in Hindi, it was so well taught throughout school and college that I love it as a language, though I disliked it as a "subject" of academic achievement. Cheers, Deepa.
