I can't tell you how much I hated math at school. Our math teacher was a 6foot four bully. He used to hit us all and I was so scared of being hit, what he taught went in one ear and out the other. Nice, concise piece!
My whole working life has utilized math one way or another. As an engineering designer I am intensively mathematical quite often. I don't need to utilize the calculus however for which I am eternally grateful. I failed at calculus.
The son of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.
Maths was not that bad, only the teacher was. After one sarcastic remark to me I was bold enough to say "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit"...and get away with it.

Ahh the dreaded math class. You capture it well and so briefly. Its almost as if you were there ignoring at you wrote this.

Give me English and social studies any day over math and science! It was hard not to yawn in math class.
