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