Catholic School & Math- A very serious place!

1+2 = 3


Until a child tells you what they are thinking, we can't even begin to imagine how their mind is
working....



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?'

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.'

FORWARD THIS TO ANYBODY WHO NEEDS A GOOD LAUGH.
Have a wonderful day and God Bless.

Reminds me of 4th grade... I had a nun for a math teacher and BOY was she strict! (Although she never did threaten to nail us to a plus sign...)
