<p>Starbright,
Interesting observation about your D ability and lack of interest in math. My D. is the same. Math and also chemistry and physics have been her easy classes. In fact, she is planning to take Calc in college to get an easy “A” if she has time her senior year. What she loves is Bio, which has never been easy, but she seems so much into it when she talks about it. So, she is pre-med. Being very comfortable with math has helped her tremendously though in her science classes. No matter how you look at it, math needs to be taught much more seriously in HS, it should not artificially create a sense of insecurity.</p>
