The day a kid passed math

Today’s viral video on the Intertubes is tonic for people who long for more parent involvement in the education of children.

“One year before this video I was at a grade F in maths and in England you need a C (pass) to basically do anything with your life,” the young man wrote. “I’ve never been amazing academically and have struggled through out school , neither me or my dad or my teachers thought I was going to get my C , I know some of you might be saying , well an c is nothing but for me it was hard to get.”

He knew his dad would be pleased, so he set up the camera to record the moment.
