In a moment I'm going to offer you a summer school experience

that you'll love, that can make you rich, give you great friends

to play with, give you confidence and a sense of security.

 

But first this...

 

Back in another lifetime (as least that's what it seems like),

I was the principal of a summer school.

 

For seven years, from 1994 to 2000, around 300 kids and

18 to 20 teachers would come in for five weeks. They'd

take English, Algebra, Biology, etc. All the classes they failed

the previous year in regular high school.

 

You'd think the kids would be miserable. They just spent

the past ten months in school, failing at least one class (often

more than one).

 

Now they're stuck in a hot building for another five weeks,

from 8:00 am to 12 noon, listening to teachers, doing

homework, taking tests...

 

while their friends sleep late, go to the amusement park,

lounge in the pool or make money working their summer jobs.

 

You'd think everyday of summer school was a "hate party."

 

But it wasn't. As a matter of fact, the kids were mostly in

a better mood in summer school than during the regular

school year.

 

Part of that was the teachers. They were a good crew.

They took less money per day to teach summer school

than the regular school year. They were mostly the young

enthusiastic types, or the veterans who just loved to do it.

 

And part of it was the more relaxed atmosphere. As the

principal, I didn't tolerate a lot of nonsense. But I also

gave this group a little more room than most.

 

And I made sure I treated them with respect,

and insisted they treated each other that way. 

 

 

 

 

Many times it's a whole crew of kids who don't succeed

together. So they wind up in summer school together also.

 

And even though they may not understand what factoring

equations or conjugating verbs has to do with success

in life, they understand their world will be a lot tougher

without a high school diploma.

 

So most of them buckle down, do what they have to do,

and pass the classes...again with the help of some very

patient and very good teachers.

 

 

 

 

Cool story...but what does this have to do with YOU?

 

If you read yesterday's note, or looked at yesterday's

blog post at NO MORE HOLDING BACK, you saw

the summer school experience Diane is offering up,

and I am supplementing.

 

It's not for everyone. If you're not working a home

business or marketing some kind of product or service,

it won't make a difference.

 

And if you're so far gone you don't see any hope for yourself,

it won't matter. You won't be ready to learn.

 

But if that were the case, you wouldn't have read so far down

this note. So that's not about you.  :)

 

Anyway, we're offering up a summer school of love.

 

Where everyone is welcome and accepted.

 

Where everyone is challenged to do their best.

 

Where the teacher is cool...the kind you wish you

had during the regular school year.

 

And where your friends are. Not the annoying

kids who always raise their hands and always

have the right answers.

 

You know...the misfits, the ones who don't fit into

the box...but are really smart and just need a chance

to learn the way that works for them!

 

Wanna learn and play with us?

Make sure you follow the directions step by step.

 

You can do any part of our Summer School Of Love.

 

But if you want an extra one on one session

with the principal, you have to jump in on all three.

 

It's gonna be a hot one!

 

Let's enjoy it...together.

 

Much Love,

Larry
