Mathematics was always a simple subject for me. Engineering school was a breeze for the most part.

Initially, English was difficult, as Cantonese was my first language.

Opinion-based writing, maybe; but when students must come up with sound and eloquently expressed arguments, based on synthesizing theories and existing studies, using data, etc. - this is where many will fail to do well.

With math...I think the failure comes not from the difficulty of the subject, per se - but because, more often than not, the pedagogy is bad. Schools also don't allocate enough time for students to practice higher-difficulty problems...which become easy once you figure out the steps/tricks/algorithm.
They teach instead a lot of flowery math information, most of which is low-difficulty and a waste of time; also the pedagogy doesn't separate the IMPERATIVE formulas and skills from the math noise.

That being said, the subject I found really difficult in high school was organic chemistry. They completely lost me there. Maybe the teacher really sucked but I remember the whole subject became a huge non-decipherable affair.

Math. I find it to be very intuitive. Physics is pretty intuitive too.

Teaching young children to read. It's easy and fun for me! It's my absolute favorite part of the day. Others see it as difficult and a chore.

If physical education is a subject, then physical education was my easiest class. I love PE and always looked forward to PE. I was always athletic and had passion for exercises.

History, because most of it is memorization.
