Little Zachary
Little Zachary was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything…tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers.
In short, everything they could think of to help his math.
Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.
Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.
To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.
This went on For some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an ‘A’ in math.
She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said, ‘Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?’ Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. ‘Well, then,’ she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?’
Little Zachary looked at her and said, ‘Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren’t fooling around..’

Homework helper
My granddaughter has asked me to pose a question to you, the readers of Bits & Pieces.
I think it would be really neat if we could get the answer from people all over the world. Here is the question-
“How have the events of WWII impacted life today?”
Anyone care to share your thoughts on that? I don’t think she wants you to do her homework for her, (she better not anyway) but to offer an opinion so she can do a report on the variety of thoughts.
P.S. Her report is due Friday.
FEAR captcha

Long time lurker, love your site. Immediately thought of you when I got this captcha today. For context, I’m a university professor and was idly looking at the faculty positions at the American University of the Middle East, in Kuwait. I navigated to the application page and got the attached captcha, where the password is “fear”.
Thanks Jim B
