I was a bad student, but a great standardized test taker.

I placed into advanced classes, but had zero interest in learning or studying.

Once I hit high school I was done for.

Geometry, Calculus, etc. I could never wrap my head around why I would ever need to know any of it in my daily life, nor could I envision the practical application of any of it.

So I would zone out or sleep.

Now, trying to help my daughters with their math, it might as well be hieroglyphics.
