self esteem can affect your performance in anything

I've got a predicament...


When I'm in math class, I feel just a tad bit, oh let's say - retarted.


Except when I get home and I ask my dad to do Calculus with me, I'm not that that bad at it.


In fact, I'm kind of good at it.


So how come I have this history of totally sucking on tests and quizzes in math, no matter which subject?


Because I feel like I can't do it and that I'm not smart enough.  So I wig out and panic.  Or I hear that there are only seven or eight problems on the quiz, so I assume that they're all rediculously hard and that I'm going to fail no matter what.


So if I'm not dumb when I'm at home, how do I make myself not feel dumb when I'm at school?
