Have you ever failed a subject in school?...

Fortunately I haven't failed any subject.......came close to failing though.... Physics......I got red ink 3.00 (3.00 being the passing mark and 5.00 the failing mark). Per my professor explanation, it is red inked coz I'm barely hanging. Thank goodness the counter part physics laboratory I pass with flying colors. Physical Chemistry ....almost coz before our preliminary exam (first half of the semester) I can't seem to comprehend the subject. Imagine integrating Physics with chemistry.....I don't understand the formulas......then came the second half.....it seems as if I can understand the subject......i made up for all the failing quizzes as well as the failed preliminary exams.....almost aced my quizzes and final exam.....enough to get a grade of 2......YAHOO!........sad thing 8 of my classmates (block section of only 36 student for my course) failed the subject. Biochemistry.......i cried for coz of this subject.....almost failed but still passed.... As you can see I such in everything with chemistry or math....hated those subjects since high school.....quite suprised I made it through..... Always remember to do your best in school.........grades are important but be sure that your attitude and personality develop as well. You can be the most intelligent person on earth but if your personality sucks.....employers might just get turned off by your attitude

Hello asertdd. Like you, I almost failed one of my subjects. It was my major subject. From what I remembered the subject was Introduction to Peace. The passing grade of our major subjects was 2.5. My teacher didn't know that, that was my major subject so, she gave me a 3 which is a failing grade already. I told her that was my major subject so, she changed it to 2.5. Good thing she did.

I"m afraid I kind of failed math in grade 9. But it was the average marks that counted and I had high marks in everything else, so even though I failed, I still got to grade 10. My mom almost has a heart attack and got me into tutoring even during the summer months. It worked for me, having to stay behind while they went on vacation because I had to have my tutoring cured me of my ignorance of math LOL Passed with honors after that hehehehe

Once a long time ago, I failed math and had to take a remedial course. It was no fun. By the time I got back to regular class I was way behind on new subjects and fell further behind.

yes experience one subject that i failed. our class for that subject was at 1pm in the afternoon my sleeping time. everytime our instructor start to his lecture i feel asleep so what i did ask my friend to accompany me to go movie theater. until i'm addicted to movie at that hour so i skip always to his class until classes end, when i saw my class card and found out that i failed i accept it because that was my fault. when i retake the subject i tried my best and i am one of the top 3 in the whole department who taking up the subject. you want to know what the subject is was? it was Physics 101. LOL

Awwww.... I failed in PHYSICS when I was in college because I got busy with our other projects and I totally forgot this subject... My grades were always passing but not really okay or outstanding so my professor failed me and half of the class actually. hehe

I didn't fail in any of the main exams...but I failed Chemistry in the class tests. I was a good student...and slacked off when we changed countries...and I was getting used to the different cultures (which wasn't very conducive to learning). I, now realize that I would have done much better if we remained in the same country.

no never. actually i had been a good stdent throughout the student life. it was not a cse that i failed in any subject. moreover i was a topper throughout in school and colleges. so no failing...

Hello aseretdd! I have not tried failing but I had some tough experiences in school but, with friends, determination,courage,time and more effort, I was able to handle it perfectly!

i remember on my first course i failed 1 subject, that was Physics. Our teacher a cumlaude graduate but he doesn't know how to handle the class that we won't felt bored. i always skip his class, instead of listening his discussions i prefer to went on movie theater. i never regret that he failed me because that was my fault, i enrolled again the subject with another professor i am know careful and got the highest mark. last semester on my second course i have a problem with my economic subject because that was the only subject i got low grade, i am wondering why it happened that my classmate who doesn't have record that she excel in the class from our first year got the higher grade, we found out that our teacher give high grade that student because they are very close and the teacher always received gift from the student. maybe you read my discussions about this.

actually i would say that i have never failed an exam before... til now.. I failed a class quiz on advanced chemistry... lack of studying.. i have gone through schooling all my life without studying and always aced exams but now i see college isnt all that... its tough

Well...I hate mathematics with passion...but there's one instance when our teacher conduct a test and surprisingly I'm the only one who got the right answer...odd right? Since, then I still don't like math...but I know deep inside that if I will only learn to love it...it will be much easier for me...but i didn't flunked it though...

Nopers. Not yet... I would literally die if I failed a single subject in school. And yes, in what you said, you should have done better in those two subjects because they are a part of your school records and I think that will stay permanent, FOREVER.

Very interesting question from the host. To be frank, I have been doing very well in all my studies all the while, to an extent i can get a scholarship from government to study overseas. However, I failed one subject in my 5th form, when the final exam is coming, I failed that particular subject. I failed that because i never paid attention into that subject and I never bothered what the teacher was talking about in classroom. Therefore, I failed it. The teacher humiliated me, by saying I could never do this subject well in front of my whole class, I got really irritated that time. I went for tuition, and doing lots of exercises in that particular subject. In the end , I scored the highest for that subject and I am really happy about it. My fellow friends asked me to show off this results in front of that teacher who humiliated me, but I did not do so. I believe it's the humiliation from that teacher that pushed me forward, and therefore I chose to be grateful to her, but not to seek for any revenge either physically or psychologically.

I never failed a subject. In fact, I was one of those students who stressed endlessly over their grades and would do just about anything for success - not the type to go off and have fun if it meant bringing my homework assignment down a letter grade. I felt very pressured to do well (I never had pushy parents or teachers, though, so most of this pressure was self-inflicted, and an element of other outside sources - like since I had OCD and a social/emotional disorder, I was afraid people thought that made me stupid, so I felt like I had to do well to prove them wrong, and if I didn't do well, it would confirm every stereotype they had of me... disturbing thoughts like that). I was a straight-A student (occasional "B") but think had I not been so anxious all the time I probably could have done better yet. Even now I am just learning how to relax and have confidence in myself and take things one step at a time. Luckily my anxiety and hypersensitivity didn't noticeably impede my academic performance - thank God - but I do feel for people who can't seem to make the connection in school because of personal/emotional problems though, since those in a school setting can be so one-dimensional and judgmental.

Yup, I flunked twice or thrice I believe. Remember getting 15 over 100 once when I was in fourth grade, and the teacher announced it to the whole class. She could have published it in the newspapers. ;) And I flunked again in pre-university college too. Same subject, maths. Whew! How I detest math! Lemme see, how much is two plus two? Six, isn't it? Cheers and happy mylotting!

Yes, I failed Math in my Senior year of High School. Plus, I have failed Home Economics too.. I knew nothing about sewing and cooking at the time.

I failed general studies in my first year of a levels, but only because i accidentally missed one of the three exams! I wasn't taht disappointed though because it isn't even a real subject... you can't study for it, though the idea behind it is good. I'm doing it again this year, and managed to get to all the exams so we shall see how i've done in a few months time. Not a U this time I'd hope!

I was treated as a good and sincere student in my schooling days. In each and every tests I got good marks in all subjects. And mathematics was my favourite subject. The other boys were not so good in their studies. But, when I wrote the class X board examination, I had some tentions that whether I wrote all exams good or not. That time I was a first class student. When I saw my result I disappointed. I didnot know what was happening with me . My friends who were weak at studies got passed in the examination. Totally I collapsed and disappointed .After 3 or 4 days I got my failed memo. I n that memo I had been failed In English with a short of 5 marks. In other subjects I got more than 70% marks. This was my first and last time failure in the career of my studies. I lost one year . But cleared the english subject with 80 % I always remembered about the schooling life. Now i am doing lecturership in mathematics.

I am lucky i guess. Not yet failed in any subject. But i hate Math like anything. I always passed it on the borderline of marks. 40/100 or 45/100 !! Thank god ! I just hate it..but everybody in my family have scored awesome marks in that subject. Don't know why it happens to me.
