Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 A little boy was failing maths. His parents tried everything. Tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers, but nothing helped. As a last resort, someone told them to try a Catholic school. 'Those nuns are tough' they said. The boy was soon enrolled at St. Mary's. After school on the very first day the boy ran through the door and straight to his room, without even kissing his mother hello. He started studying furiously, books and papers spread out all over his room. Right after dinner he ran upstairs without mentioning TV, and hit the books harder than before. His parents were amazed. This behavior continued for weeks, until report card day arrived. The boy quietly laid the envelope on the table, and went to his room. With great trepidation, his mother opened the report. The boy had gotten an A in math! She ran up to his room, threw her arms around him and asked, 'beta, how did this happen? Was it the nuns? 'No!' said the boy. 'On the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
