I hate people who discriminate against people with learning disabilities. We don't learn slower, we learn DIFFERENTLY!

@TheMrForplay Really? Solve [(k^2 + 3k)/4]^2 - 11/6[(k^2 +3k)/4] + 1/2 = 0  .It's a quadratic equation, and it's really pissing me off.

@baahhhFATALITY11 ....I really don't know if there is any treatment or not. I can only hope I guess.

[baahhhFATALITY11]

@townkevin59 I dont think i'm as bad at math, but....pre-algebra, the best i've gotten was a "D" out of that class. I don't understand percentages or fractions......still count on my fingers at times....I don't know. I do well in art and as a junior in highschool, I scored as a "senior graduating highschool" when it came to my english skills.

[baahhhFATALITY11]

@townkevin59 Oh my.I can't believe that happened to you, i'm sorry, sir. If it is a learning disability, i'm not even aware most of the time. It's only when i'm given instructions...because then I feel like a damn idiot for not understanding them. I have trouble grasping math as well. I understand the shower scenario. I'm often forgetfull and unsure of things, like taking medication or brushing my teeth. Even when I know i've done it, I STILL feel unsure about it. Is there any sort of treatment?

[townkevin59]

@baahhhFATALITY11 It is a learning disability, I suffer the same thing. I also can't comprehend math. I need people to be very specific with me, something I overheard my boss tell another coworker before I lost my job, and it was very embarrassing to me. I know how frustrating it is to live life this way, but for me, it hasn't changed. It has been getting worse for me now at the age of 40. Though I take a shower the night before, the next morning, I can't remember I took one.
