Everything you've written, kept

Most quarters don't fail from a lack of ideas. They fail from too many. When we sit down with an operator in September, we don't open with a framework. We open with the calendar and the cash.

There is a chair by the window in our Elm Street study room, and it is never empty after 3:40 p.m. Last year, 214 students sat in it. Ninety-one of them raised a failing grade to passing within a single semester. Not because of anything clever — because someone was there, every weekday, at the same time, expecting them. A gift of $85 keeps that chair staffed for a month. A gift of $1,020 keeps it staffed for a year. Will you hold the chair for one more student this fall?
