Two young parents were having problems with their son’s performance in
school. No matter how many talks they had with their son, he was still not doing
his homework and he was still misbehaving in school.
After exhausting all of their ideas, they went to visit a local pastor. Upon
explaining the problem to the pastor, the pastor recommending enrolling the
young lad in the church’s school. They had not been in the habit of attending
church and were skeptical but they were open to any ideas that might solve their
dilemma.
The parents watched with amazement as each afternoon the young lad come home and
ran immediately up to his room to complete his homework. Although the parents
remained skeptical, they had to admit they were impressed with the changes in
their son. His homework was always completed, his manners and attitude improved,
and he appeared very motivated to learn.
Weeks later, it was time for report cards. The parents were anxious to see the
results. To their amazement, their son had received all A’s. The parents now
lost their skepticism. They now believed that this school was truly making a
difference in their son’s life. They arranged a meeting with the pastor to thank
him and discuss the reasons for their son’s turn-around.
In the meeting with the pastor, the pastor explained that with the structure and
high expectations of the school, many parents saw a turn-around in their
children. The parents said "Whatever the reason, we are very grateful."
Upon returning home, the parents decided to get their son’s perspective on the
turn-around. "Son, what was it that has made the difference? Was it the
structure? Was it the teachers? Tell us son, What was it that made the
difference?"
The son’s eyes grew really big and he leaned in and replied in a whisper, "Well
they were painting our room so we had our math class in the chapel that first
day - And I knew they were serious about the classes when I saw the man nailed
to the plus sign!"
