The boy had done poorly in school his whole life and nothing seemed to work. He went from school to school and tutor to tutor but no one could work with him. He wasn't getting in to trouble or doing drugs he just wasn't to smart and couldn't find the motivation to get himself to work.
After going to just about every school in the city there was only one school left that would accept him. It was a Catholic school. The family wasn't religious but they knew the value of an education so they sen't him there anyways.
After the first day of school, the boy comes home with a very serious face and heads straight upstairs to his room. His parents only thoughts were "not again", and left him be till dinner. When his mother went to retrieve him she opened his door and saw that he was hard at work doing his homework. Something he had never done before. Without saying anything about the homework they headed downstairs and ate dinner.
Both the mother and father both had their doubts about how hard he would continue to work on his school work but sure enough day after day he would come home and do nothing but do his school work. His parents were stunned but stayed to themselves and let their son work thinking surely the result will be the same.
After the first quarter of school and a lot of anticipation from the parents, the boy finally came home with his report card. He walked in the door, set the report card on the table, and went straight up to his room. His mother opened the report card and to their surprise he had straight A's and B's. Shocked she had to go speak to her son. She went up stairs into his room where he was back doing homework again.
"Ok, I have to ask, are they beating you?"
"No", he said as he kept focused on his homework.
"Is it the nuns?"
"No."
"Well then, WHAT was it? The books? The uniforms? Are the other students teasing you? WHAT WAS IT?"
The boy raised his head from his homework and says, "well, on the first day when I saw that man nailed to a plus sign I knew they meant business."
