His parents tried everything from tutors to
hypnosis, but to no avail. Finally, at the
insistence of a family friend, they decided to
enroll their son in a private Catholic school.
After the first day, the boy’s parents were
surprised when he walked in after school with a
stern, focused and very determined expression
on his face, and went right past them straight to
his room, where he quietly closed the door. For
nearly two hours he toiled away in his room –
with math books strewn about his desk and the
surrounding floor. He emerged long enough to
eat, and after quickly cleaning his plate , went
straight back to his room, closed the door, and
worked feverishly at his studies until bedtime.
This pattern continued ceaselessly until it was
time for the first quarter report card. The boy
walked in with his report card unopened and laid
it on the dinner table and went straight to his
room. Cautiously, his mother opened it, and to
her amazement, she saw a bright red “A” under
the subject of MATH.
Overjoyed, she and her husband rushed into
their son’s room, thrilled at his remarkable
progress. “Was it the nuns that did it? ” the
father asked. The boy only shook his head and
said, “No.” “Was it the one-on-one tutoring? The
peer-mentoring?” “No.” “The textbooks? The
teachers? The curriculum?”
“Nope,” said the son. “On that first day, when I
walked in the front door and saw that guy they
nailed to the ‘plus sign,’ I just knew they meant
business!”
