Fainjin was reluctant to go to school this morning. In fact, he announced that he just wasn’t going.
“Why not?” I asked him.
“Because it’s boring.”
“Uh-huh. Which bit of school is boring?”
“Maths,” he grumped.
“Oh dear. Do you have trouble with maths at the moment?”
“Yes.” He was almost tearful.
“What’s the problem with maths, Fainjin?”
“There are too many pluses and minuses!” he blurted.

I totally agree. I hated maths with a passion.
