Never did well in school.

I will admit that primary and high school were not my most favourite times, Primary school was the worst I would say If the teachers cared about students wellbeing and understood that some students have difficulty. then the help would be much easier to get. One teacher in primary school always yelled and got angry because of my handwriting/spelling mistakes, not being able to do maths. I was tested for Dyslexia, ADD, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia and autism at the age of 4 and I wasn't diagnosed till I was age 20. So I don't know why it was never brought up then, In high school. I was there for 5 years and only passed Music, history and biology and just passed English, I failed all the other classes. The teachers just thought I was lazy and didn't take into account that I have learning difficulties. I know I'm not the only one who has had difficulties in high school or education in general.

Did anyone else had trouble in school maybe difficulties in certain classes?

  • I didn't understand 'handwriting'.     Looking back, I now realise we were supposed to develop our individual writing style with a fountain pen - however I didn't know that back then - I just copied the sample joined-up letters and scripts exactly - like a photocopy.   Ultimate precision.

    Unfortunately, being also left-handed, the ink got smudged everywhere as my hand slid over the top of the wet ink - and I got a blue hand..

    I always got low marks but just didn't understand the game - and the teacher never mentioned the actual purpose of the lessons..

  • I ALWAYS had issues with my writing; it's such a challenge making it legible.

  • I can relate to that, I tend to not write at all these days,
