How would you react if your child came home with a C in math on their report card?

The day i passed maths
Aria had a failing grade at the beginning of the semester in math, but as his father explains in the video, students in Britain need at least a passing grade (a “C”) to be able to go to college. With this in mind, the two of them worked together to bring up Aria’s grade, and bring it up they did. After his final test in January, he came home with exactly what he wanted: a passing grade.
