Krabapple was having a bad day and to feel better decides to start failing Max. Maximillian's always gotten straight A's, and he doesn't understand why his hard work is turning out to be a failure now. Being the innocent child that he is, he believes Mrs. Krabapple when she tells him that he's not smart and that's why he's failing and that all his answers were wrong.

This is really sad, and most of us at one time or another have probably had a teacher like this that was out to get us. They'd always give some lame excuse for whatever they were doing.
