My son is sh*te at Math(s) and he's happy, smart and confident.....

If only I'd read this story before. I could have learnt to beat all that out of him.

It is the 'you're a winner, I'm a winner, we're all winners' - 'my child came 1 milllionth in the local spelling bee and I'm proud' crap that is touted all over the place.

I'll say no more.
