RE: yesterday's discussion of homework and classes; it seems to me that there is more homework now than when I was in school. Of course that might just be that my school was different, or I didn't bother much with homework. I was not the best student...in fact when I look back at my report cards I am shocked at some of the grades that I got.
Like BK, and others here, I had no interest in math or science and thus I was not good at either. I took one semester of Algebra, then switched to business math. Fortunately for me, math was not a requirement in Junior or Senior years at my school.
I took biology, but remember little about it, other than dissecting a frog.
