Little Johnny Learns Math
Little Johnny is having a difficult time with math. He excels at history, social studies, art, language, and all the rest of the disciplines but can't get a handle on math. His parents hire tutors, and buy him specialized books and math CD Roms all to no avail. Finally, they have no choice. They have to find a solution to Little Johnny's math problem or he will never pass.
His parents decide to send him to a Catholic school known for its strict academics. He goes to his first day of school all dressed in a freshly pressed white shirt and tie with black pants-very sharp. He comes home from school that afternoon and proceeds straight to his room. His parents do not see or hear from him until supper. At which time, he emerges from his room, math books strewn all about, eats his dinner and returns to his studies without saying a word. This goes on for weeks.
Finally, he arrives home one day with his report card, drops it on the table and goes straight to his room. His parents are afraid to open it. Finally, mustering the courage, they gingerly open the envelope and in big bold is the letter "A" in math. They're ecstatic. They rush into Johnny's room and hug him. "What did it" they ask.
"Was it the teachers, the new books, the new school?"
Little Johnny says, "Well, when I walked into the lobby of the new school that first day and saw that guy they'd nailed to that plus sign, I knew they were serious."
