>>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 day, 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."
