CATHOLIC MATH
>
> Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried
everything;
> tutors, flash cards, special learning centers, in short, everything they
> could think of.
>
> Finally in a last ditch effort, they took Tommy down and enrolled him in
the
> local Catholic School. After the first day, little Tommy comes home
> with a very serious look on his face. He doesn't kiss his mother hello.
> Instead, he goes straight to his room & starts studying. Books & papers
are
> spread out all over the room and little Tommy is hard at work. His mother
is
> amazed. She calls him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he is
> done he marches back to his roomwithout a word and in no time he is back
to
> hitting the books as hard as before.
>
> This goes on for sometime, day after day while the mother tries to
> understand what made all the difference. Finally, little Tommy brings home
> his
> report card. He quietly lays it on the table and goes up to his room and
> hits the books. With great trepidation, his mom looks at it and to her
> surprise, little Tommy got an A in math.
>
> She can no longer hold her curiosity. She goes to his room and says: "Son,
> what was it? Was it the nuns?" Little Tommy looks at her and shakes his
> head.
>
> "Well then," she replies, "was it the books, the discipline, the
structure,
> the uniforms, WHAT was it?"
>
> Little Tommy looks at her and says, "Well, on the first day of school,
when
> I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling
> around."
