A boy is having trouble in math...

and it seems no matter what his parents do he just does not get it. His parents are worried because their otherwise straight A son won't be able to move on in school if he can't pass math. They try everything from math games, to private tutors, to offering cash rewards and nothing seems to have the slightest impact.

Finally they resort to changing schools and they still have no luck. At the end of their rope, they send him to a prestigious catholic school, ready to give up on him if it doesn't work. After his first day he comes straight home and heads up stairs without saying a word. His mom finds this curious and follows him to his room to find he is hard at work studying the math books they have bought him.

She is very surprised, but decides to let him work and not say anything. This trend continues for 6 weeks until his report card finally arrives and his parents open to find his highest grade is now in math. Utterly shocked they run up to his room and excitedly ask him what is happening. He turns to look at them with an exhausted and almost worried expression on his face and says, "Well, on the first day when I saw that man nailed to the plus sign I knew they weren't fooling around."
