My buddy is orthodox Jewish. At a lunch meeting he professed how he doesn’t know what to do about his son. He is failing math. If this continues the Jewish school will have to hold him back.
I suggested that maybe he needs to transfer, that a mutual friend of ours has a daughter at catholic school close to the school his kid goes to. He says that if his kid went to catholic school he would be shunned by the community. So I made the suggestion maybe he should get some tutoring and that our mutual friend swears the math teacher at the catholic school is top notch. So he makes a few phone calls and gets his kid tutoring from the math teacher at the Catholic school.
Sure enough there is an improvement in grades and by the end of the semester he has an A+ in math. My friend was overjoyed and had a big dinner for everyone. At dinner, He inquires with his son how did you improve so well in math? Was it the tutoring? Was it the teacher? His kid replies, well it’s like this I walked into the classroom the first day and I saw a guy nailed to a + sign and I knew they mean business.
