My time is short and so is yours, so why not tell the truth: A person can get along very well in life without one bit of the mathematics and physics they rammed into our brains in high school. Fifty years later, and there hasn't been a single moment when I've thought, "Oh, if only I could remember higher algebra!"..... No, it isn't smarts, it's personal charm that propels you forward in this world... and a terrific smile will take you a long way too. .... If your kid flunked out of school, don't worry about it. Teach him to love his life. Teach her to do good work and not expect recognition. Not smart? No problem. Be useful. That may be better for humanity than to be brilliant and troubled. And it wouldn't hurt you to smile more. Just do it.
All of that high school pre-cal bullsh*t be damned!(If only I would've had that perspective back then)
