Lazy or smart?

Yesterday an 8th grader came to me with his (big) math book and his (small) grammar book. He needed help with both subjects. I asked which he wanted me to help him with because we would only have time to finish one. He looked at both books and then said, "Math."


I asked, "Why? Can someone at home help you more with grammar than with math?"


"No," he said, "My grammar book is lighter to carry home."

Sounds too smart to be in your class!
