Try this: Some students hate math and others merely dislike it, however, many enjoy math.

Your revision is good -- you've changed that last one so you have "parallel" verbs: learn, adapt, be

Your sentence will be better if you put a comma after "circumstances."

To create parallel constructions in the sentence you provided, it's important to maintain consistency in the structure and tense of the phrases. Here's a revised version of the sentence:

Revised sentence: Some students hate math, some students dislike math, and some students enjoy math.

In this version, the sentence is structured consistently by using the phrase "some students" before each verb (hate, dislike, enjoy), making it parallel and grammatically correct.
