Learning problem..?

---

I have always thought ( and everyone told me ) I just dont apply myself.. Reason i just cant get math.. have problems understanding things.. and such. Could i have a learning problem? I have been throwing around the idea.. of maybe i honestly have a problem! So i decieded to ask you guys.. It makes sense on the board... and handouts.. but when i do it it dosnt make sense... Like math for example.. I just dont understand how it works.. I have been paying attention and such for a long time.. but for the last two or three weeks.. I have given up.. I havnt done any work for the last 2-3 weeks.. I dont care.. because i figure i will never get it anyways.. Is there any online tests? or anything to see if i possibly have some sort of problem? Thanks

That doesn't mean you have a learning problem. Some people aren't the greatest at math. Math can be hard. Don't give up though. That's not going to help anything. Seek out the help of a tutor.

Have you asked your teacher if you can stay after for help? I think it will be better to have someone teach you rather than trying to get help online. What grade are you in and what kind of math is it?

Im a sophmore and its Algerbra 1

In reply to: i just cant get math.. have problems understanding things. me too. I couldn't even read till jr high.. still not the best at it. I have dyslixia. i turn things around. when they tested me they told my parents i had one of the worst leves. Yeah there is levels of it and ther are different types of it. the jr high i whent to had a good tuter teacher and she helped to figure out new things to try to help me learn. basically not reading lol. like some explaining or showing.. i had and still am having a hellish time with math. but i'm doing better cuz my mom knows what i need to get it. she sits and dows a problum step by step if i don't get a step we don't move to the next step..lol same with computers, diver knows. the reading and spelling is the worst for me. i hate words that are alike but spelled different, ike there and their...i get them mixed ALL the time and words like that. i even write and type backwards BUT sometimes i do catch myself..typing is way better than writing though. my mom lets me do paragraphs and essays on the cp cuz she can't ead my writing lol noONE can read my notes but me. i do notes in short hand, i use to type short hand but no one could understand me... lol some i don't think can now, (i'm sorry about that ) i think i amn getting better as i get older..but it will never go away. i was born with it and i will die with it. it don't help to have have a over thinking mind along with a stupid learning problum. all i can say is get them to test you. teachers called me alzy...like some one else on here.. and my mom had to fight with the stupid system to get me tested. BAM!! in there face! I hope she rubbed it in when they found out i had dislixia.

If you ever need help with your homework your can PM me. I'm in the 8th grade and I also take algebra 1.

mandude, i'm a soohmore and i'm still doign basic math...intro to al..

same here, will help you with whatever i can, so just PM me and will do what i can, don't know how old grade 8 is but i in last year of school so will help if can.

Eh, I got done with Algebra III back when I was a junior. So if you need help, post the problem and we'll all work on it together.

Thanks for the offers guys. Math makes sense in the book.. or on the board.. but when i acutally do it.. It dosn't make a tad bit of sense.. Only reason i passed last semester is because the teachers aide was cool and didn't check work.. just if it had something down. When i look at a math problem.. I see a simpler way that makes sense to me. But thats not how they say to do it.. and with my style .. i get the wrong answer. So maybe i see math backwards? or maybe the right way and everyone else is wrong Who would i see at my school about my problems with school. My dad wont let me drop out of HS to goto C School.. When the report card comes.. Im gonna use that as my excuse.. I tryed... I honestly tryed in math. Still got a D- .. Only reason i had the D- was cause the TA and her cool grading system. They have this C school program at my school.. Its where im still on MY currents school campus. But just stay in one class for the whole day.. Its only 4 periods a day/4 days a week. There are TWO teachers. One for history and english. and the other for math and science. Right now.. Its honestley pointless to goto math class anymore if i dont get it. At the program im talking about... When i talked to the lady that is one of the teachers.. I told her i have the hardest time with math.. she goes thats ok.. You just come up to see us .. and you can ask for as much help as you want to. and when i need help.. Its 1 on 1 at the teachers desk.. I think that program would help me alot.. But Mr. Prick ( father ) says C school is for fucks up.. and its to easy.. and all you have to do is show up.. and blah blah.. and the reason i dont get math is because i dont apply myself.. and im lazy.. blah blah.. I have heard some people just dont learn well in the convential classroom set up. It just dosn't work for them. Obviosully its not working for me. and hasnt for math since 4th grade.. and didn't work great for everythign else since 7th grade. Sorry for another long post.. Just trying to explain this to the best of my ability.. Last night when i posted i was so tired.. but didn't want to forget to post.

Well I'm in college and if you need help with it I'm here as well. Just PM me.

DELETE

OK!.. I deleted my previous post.. I just thought about something... I know the lady that runs a thing for teens on my campus.. ones that have trouble.. It just hit me.. Im going to go talk to her.. Tell her about all my problems.. depression.. school.. home.. etc.. and see what she says! ... She might deciede i need some sort of differn't schooling.. How does this sound guys? Think it will work?

Go for it! I hope things go well for you.

Do it, FaBMX. It sounds an excellent idea.I agree with you, by the way, that there is no point staying in a class if you're not understanding it. You can't learn things you don't understand. You'd make far more progress working at the level that is right for you, not for your father.

In reply to: You can't learn things you don't understand. You'd make far more progress working at the level that is right for you, must be y i'm in the 10th grade and doing basic math still....probly don't read on a high level either....nope i don't. FaBMX, i hope that lady can help u with ur math.. MATH SUCKS!!! down with the man or woman that invinted math!!!!!!!!

But you, CR and FaBMX, are really good at other things. We think of the things we have trouble with, much more than we think of the things we are good at, and we forget how accomplished we are.

Yes, nobodies good at everything, what would be the point of never having a challenge at all, and BTW, I'll extend my hand to help, I'm pretty good when it comes to school and advice(not everytime though...), but I'm horrible at athletics...we all have growing points...

My parents are pissing me off.. They want to get me a tutor now.. WTF? I want to D R O P O U T .. Not have more school.. and like a dumb fuck i am.. I agreed to it... No fair.. I was under the influence.. How can i get them to let me drop out of regular school and goto continuation school? any ideas? I need it before he gets home tomorrow.. or some way to tell him.. I dont want to pay for some fucking tutor.. that will keep me there longer.. and they have peer tutors at my school.. I dont want to talk them cock socks.. There gay.. I wont make it through school on my current path.. So why can i just get to the place where im going to end up.. I cnat learn.. im stupid.. i hate school.. love drugs.. hate people.. I WANT C SCHOOL.. 4 hours a day.. 4 days a week sounds better than like 7 hours a day and 5 days a week.. I need help.. I have to get out.. I hate it.. Im on the verge of killing myself.. Just so i dont have to attend that hell hole one more day.. PLEASE HELP ME.. Sorry.. this is mainly a bitching session..

Maybe you should tell your parents to try and hold off on the tutor idea and you want to talk to that woman on tuesday first.
