Alternative education

Little David, who was Jewish, was failing math.
His parents tried everything, tutors, mentors, special learning
centres, and nothing helped. As a last resort, someone told them to try a
Catholic school. "Those nuns are tough," they said.

David was soon enrolled at St. Mary's. After
school, on the very first day, he ran through the door and straight to
his room, without even kissing his mum hello. He started studying
furiously, books and papers spread all over his room. Right after dinner,
he ran upstairs without mentioning TV and hit the books even harder.
His parents were amazed.

This behaviour continued for weeks until report
card day arrived. David quietly laid the envelope on the table and
went to his room. With great trepidation, his mother opened the report.
David had gotten an A. She ran up to his room, threw her arms around him
and asked, "David, honey, how did this happen? Was it the nuns?
"No," said David. "On the first day of school when I saw that guy
nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around."
