      Parents getting frustrated with a kid not understanding math, and are resorting to just saying the question louder and angrier.

      As a result bringing the child to tears (tear drops on a paper) and giving a traumatic experience.

      Some people struggle(d) with math. The wet spots on the paper are tears from the student crying.

      Repeating the question was unfortunately a common method to “help,” but it helps in the same way that repeating a sentence slower to someone who doesn’t understand the language you’re speaking helps (that is, it doesn’t help at all).
