    For me it had to be maths. Never had an issue with it in primary school. Just lost all interest in it in secondary school. Partly due to having a poor teacher. He was a nice guy but simply couldn't teacher a class. I was basically advised to do foundation level in my leaving cert. Ending up sticking to my guns and did ordinary level and got a D1.
    I have no idea how I managed to get that D1. My paper was halirous I wrote a note in English beside every calculation explain what I was doing.

    Maths here too. Whatever hope I had with it faded away when letters were added to equations.

    Irish.

    I hated Mathematics in school because I had an appalling teacher. I got a masters in maths and a degree in accounting in adult life to prove it wasn't me.

    Theres still no need to learn irish

    Would have been biology for me for my leaving cert. Like i don't mind reading about the topics online and the likes it was just the teacher who made me hate the subject with a passion as he was not a good teacher and he never took the fact i had delixea into the tests and used to fail me all the time in them if i 2 or 3 letters wrong in the words and used to always but big red X on my work and it used to upset me quite a lot when i did know the ANS.

    I called him a asshole one day in 6th year after i failed my mocks that he marked it was higher LV. He said that i wasn't aloud back in his class agin on to i said sorry to him witch i never did and never went back to his class.

    So i went and thought myself the course witch i done for must of the leaving cert

    Ended up with a C1 in higher Lv in my leaving cert with no thanks to him and the fact it i was able to do the subject to begin with there was no need to be telling me in front of the class that i was failing every test and making me go up the board when i wasn't able to spell the words to write down the homework.

    Nasty man picking on a student with a learning disability

    Irish, I just couldn't see the point in learning it, thought it was a complete waste of time.

    True, if I was back in school I'd still have no time for Irish but I have no problem with students who are interested in Irish learning it, just think it shouldn't be compulsory.

    Maths for me too.

    I did pure and applied at A Level. The teacher for the pure was the deputy head - what a total fcuking bastard this guy was.

    If it wasn't perfect, you had to repeat it and if you didn't get the repeat done in time detention.

    There is no torture too painful for this guy - but without him I'd have failed - my mind at that time was on girls, fat girls, thin girls, spotty girls, freckly girls, long haired girls, and girls with short hair. I couldn't look at a girl without thinking "Wow vagina."

    Yep a single sex school.:(

    Anyway I just about passed Maths P&A despite my absence of any thought or effort.:)

    Mine was French or Irish. Probably Irish because we just took the piss in French anyways, fun class.

    Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Geography I could all do. Just not languages.

    Social Studies or whatever they called it

    In our school, it was just essentially a few years of pleading with us not to end up in jail, on Heroin or with 7 kids by the age of 23.
