Hello mymartianromance: Well... it's been many years since the Skeezyks was in school! But I feel your pain. When I first started college, taking foreign language courses was a requirement. The only reason I finally graduated was because they dropped that requirement while I was in school. I took one basic math class in college (also required.) On the first day of class the instructor said that no one who came to class, & also came to his office for extra help as needed, would fail the course. So that's what I did. I got a "D" (just above failing!) Believe me... it wasn't pretty! On the other hand, somehow, I eventually ended up going to graduate school. I graduated with a 4.0 average. I know how difficult what you're going through can be. But if you can just grit your teeth & bear it, this too shall pass.
