Perhaps you have a writing disability too, or I have a reading disability, but your original comment seems to say that you are completely able to understand math despite having a learning disability.
Go ahead and check. I re-read it several times just to make sure.
Ah, ok. Yes, I meant unable. My mistake. I am just incapable of understanding math even at very basic levels, as I was reminded of again this year after putting my 13-year-old daughter in online school. I barely made it through the math classes I took in high school. College required a single math course and I took the “this is so easy anyone can pass it” one and barely passed it.
I just wanted to clarify because I probably have a learning disability too but I never had any issues with math. It’s always been more about dealing with people.
Academically, I was always fine unless math got into the picture. I was always really good at science, and still love science, but once they started making me do math in science, my grades just started dropping because it just didn’t make sense to me. I’m mostly fine with arithmetic, fractions and decimals, but once it gets into solving for X or plotting graphs or calculating volume or using any sort of formula, I get totally lost.
You mean apart from my having an actual physical disability and having received disability payments because of it?
Well it clearly isn’t a learning disability if you can still understand math
I mean… I can’t understand math? That was what I originally said?

Alright then, glad we could clear that up.

I’ve taught a class of kids that has various disabilities. Having a disability doesn’t make you stupid.
