Little Zachary was doing very badly in math. <div>>>> > His parents had tried everything... Tutors,</div><div>>>> > Mentors, flash cards,</div><div>>>> > Special learning centers. In short, everything</div><div>>>> > They could think of to help his math.</div><div>>>> ></div><div>>>> > Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took</div><div>>>> > Zachary down and enrolled him</div><div>>>> > In the local Catholic school. After the first</div><div>>>> > Day, little Zachary came home with a very</div><div>>>> > Serious look on his face. He</div><div>>>> > didn't even kiss his mother</div><div>>>> > Hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and</div><div>>>> > Started studying. Books and papers were spread</div><div>>>> > Out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at</div><div>>>> > Work. His mother was amazed. She called him down</div><div>>>> > To dinner.</div><div>>>> ></div><div>>>> > To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back</div><div>>>> > To his room without a word, and in no time, he was back</div><div>>>> > Hitting the books as hard as bef ore. This went on</div><div>>>> > For some time, day after day, while the mother</div><div>>>> > Tried to understand what made all the difference.</div><div>>>> > Finally, little Zachary brought home his report</div><div>>>> > Card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his</div><div>>>> > Room and hit the books. With great trepidation,</div><div>>>> > His Mom looked at it and to her gr eat surprise,</div><div>>>> > Little Zachary got an "A" in math. She could no</div><div>>>> > Longer hold her curiosity.</div><div>>>> > She went to his room and said, "Son, what was it?</div><div>>>> > Was it the nuns?" Little Zachary looked at her and</div><div>>>> > Shook his head, no. "Well, then," she replied,</div><div>>>> > Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the</div><div>>>> > Uniforms? "WHAT WAS IT ALREADY?"</div><div>>>> ></div><div>>>> > Little Zachary looked at her and said, "Well, on</div><div>>>> > The first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to</div><div>>>> > The plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."</div><div> </div><div> </div>[em01][em01][em01] |
