Little Zachary was doing very badly in math.
His parents had tried everything... Tutors, Mentors, flash cards,
Special learning centers. In short, everything They could think of to
help his math.
Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him
in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came
home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his
mother Hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started
studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little
Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed.
She called him down to dinner.
To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room
without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as
before. This went on for some time, day after d ay, while the mother
tried to understand what made all the difference.
Finally , little Zachary brought home his report Card. He quietly laid
it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books.. With great
trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little
Zachary got an 'A' in math.. She could no Longer hold her curiosity.
She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?'
Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. 'Well, then,' she
replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms?
'WHAT WAS IT ALREADY?'
Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school
when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling
around.'
