The survey results show that "Mathematics I-III" and "English Communication" tied for first place as the most disliked subjects. Furthermore, approximately 40% of students cited falling behind in class as the reason for their dislike. This indicates that academic stumbling blocks and pressure in the classroom are contributing factors to negative feelings toward these subjects.
