Argh Maths - I hated it and still do in a way despise it.
It was more the teaching methods which put me off. Rather than simply doing one or two questions for practice, the teachers always forced us, as in the Maths class, to involve ourselves in repetitive question answering on the same subject.
After doing two calculations which were exact theoretical clones of each other, I usually got bored, and begun to talk to the people around me and mention miscellaneous off topic subjects with the teacher. The teacher didn't seem to mind actually - probably was equally tired of just sitting there reading the answer book (which I once stole to do my homework from - copying was a lot more enjoyable).
In the end I got an A at GCSE. I didn't really care and wouldn't have minded just a C - I had no plans to take it any further.
