[quote=Anonymous]I liked to read and am smart, so my school refused to believe I had any learning disabilities. In the middle of sixth grade my mother found out I hadn't done any math all year, and slowly figured out I stopped understanding anything when fractions were introduced in second grade. So I'd spent four years not understanding anything and getting bad grades, and everyone thought it was just bad behavior. We had a week off school between Christmas and New Year's and my mom taught me four years of math in one week. I happily and quickly did all my math work through ninth grade, even winning a math award, until 10th grade when I couldn't understand a concept again. I basically failed the year, and in 11th grade took Business Math which I passed and then never took math classes again. I may not be able to do geometry or calculus, but I can do my own taxes, which is much more relevant in adult life, and I can save money like a mofo. [/quote]
