What do you do when your son is good at everything...exept what he needs to do to graduate from High School?
The very same day that we got an email warning us that our son was failing math, we got a phone message from his english teacher praising his final project as "artistically, one of the best " the teacher had ever gotten from a student.
The next day, his math teacher let us know that due to much hard work and a better grade on the final than he'd gotten all year, our son would be passing math, after all. Then the teacher wondered if we knew the kid was a SuDoku master? Apparently he'd single handedly solved a puzzle the rest of the class couldn't figure out together.
Math sucks.
