A good education is an important stepping stone in hopefully helping people live a successful and fulfilling life. At our school we pride ourselves in providing an opportunity for all our students to excel at what they desire by building on their individual talents and skills. Every school has stories of the trials and sacrifices that parents and students make to achieve their goals.
This is one of those stories which shows how small sacrifices and strong collaborations between members of the school family can help a student achieve her goal.
"Thank you for coming in Ms Dean," I say meeting her at the door and shaking hands.
"My pleasure Headmaster, though I must admit I'm surprised to be called to the principal office this early in term."
"Please call me Richard and you know our career advisor Nathan."
Nathan is already sitting at my desk, I escort Sandra to the vacant chair beside him.
"Yes we have met before," Sandra says sitting down.
"Nice to see you again Ms Dean," Nathan says holding out his hand.
"Please have a seat Ms Dean and I'll explain why we invited you."
"Thank you Richard and please it's Sandra."
I take my seat studying Sandra Dean, single mother, aged 37, works as an exotic dancer at the local nightclub 3 nights a week and topless barmaid at the top pub two nights. Had her daughter at 19, the father disappeared when she was six months pregnant, she's had various boyfriends over the years but none lasted.
Sandra is very attractive at just over six foot tall, her pole dancing has given her an athletic figure, her legs long and shapely, a firm tight ass, flat stomach and a pair of firm round fake 34DDD breasts.
"Sandra we invited you in to discuss our plans for Jill this year, we were disappointed when she failed to graduate last year and had to repeat."
"Yes she was very depressed and I was worried for her."
"I've spoken with Jill at the start of term Sandra," Nathan says turning his chair to face Sandra directly, "She wants to graduate this year and says she will work extra hard but to be honest with you Sandra she's not the brightest of students and will struggle."
"Yes sadly with school she does take after me, I was never a great student."
"Sandra I do see it's positive that Jill has an career ambition for after graduation and we can use that to help motivate her," Nathan says.
"She's always wanted to be a hairdresser, she was always doing my hair or her friends hair from when she was a little girl."
"Yes and to be a hairdresser she needs to go to community college and to go to community college she needs to graduate," Nathan says.
"Nathan has spoken to me about this Sandra and we want to make this happen for Jill," I say leaning forward in my chair drawing her attention to me, "I have spoken with some of her teachers and they are all in agreement to provide extra help for her."
"And what will this extra help be?"
"Her teachers under my personal guidance will provide extra tuition for her after school each afternoon Monday to Thursday for one hour per day."
"That would be wonderful and you think it will work."
"To be honest Sandra we can't promise anything, we will do our best but at the end of the day it will still be up to Jill."
"Of course but how can I help?"
"Sandra I'm very glad to hear that, it's going to take effort from everybody to get Jill across the line," Nathan says. "Richard and myself will be holding regular meetings with the teachers monitoring Jill's progress and with Jill herself."
"Tell me what I need to do, I'll do anything to help Jill."
"To start with we need you to ensure Jill comes to all the extra classes, does all the extra homework she is assigned and attend regular weekly meetings with Richard and myself to assess her progress."
"Yes I can do that."
"Excellent, thank you Sandra."
"Now Sandra, Nathan and I are having a meeting with Jill this afternoon, tonight we need you to discuss everything with her and confirm her agreement."
"Yes fine, not a problem."
"Good, if everything goes to plan we will start the program next Monday and will have our first follow up meeting with yourself the following Wednesday afternoon, I'll confirm a time later."
"Just let me know, I'll make sure I'm available."
I stand up walking around my desk to stand beside Sandra holding out my hand, "Again thank you for coming in Sandra I feel confident that everything will work out and we'll all get what we want."
Sandra stands up shaking my hand, Nathan walks her to the door where they exchange pleasantries and shake hands, Nathan closes the door returning to my desk.
"Hmm you were right Nathan she is a hottie, you out did yourself this year."
"Thanks Richard, what's next?"
"We'll give it a few weeks, get a couple of assignments and test done and then we'll meet with Sandra to discuss the disappointing results."
"Not a problem, I'll catch up with you at 2pm for our meeting with Jill."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Do you think we could get her involved this year also?"
"We will work on that, don't get many 18 year olds, be a shame to waste an opportunity."
We have our meeting with Jill explaining our proposition as we put it to her mother, she wasn't overjoyed about the prospect of extra school work but dangling the hairdressing carrot helped. We instructed her to go home and talk it over with her mother and if they agreed to let me know first thing in the morning and I'll arrange everything to start from next Monday.
Nathan and I spent the meeting devouring Jill with our eyes. her school uniform is at least one if not two sizes too small for her. Like her mother she has long blonde hair which she ties in a ponytail, she is about six foot tall, her breast full and perky with pokey nipples, and in her tight white blouse with no bra they always look magnificent, Her skirt barely reach a third of the way down her thigh and when seated it rides up showing off all her long tanned legs with a hint of juicy ass or glimpse of panties depending on your position. To finish off her uniform she wears white knee length socks and black two inch high heels.
I will definitely be having more meeting with her and making sure she does that little bit extra herself to earn her graduation.
Jill came to my office next morning agreeing to the tutoring proposal.
The tutoring begins on the Monday as scheduled, there are four teachers Ted doing Math, Bruce doing English, Don doing Science and Max doing History. The weighting given to these four subjects will be enough to allow Jill to graduate if she passes them no matter the results in her other subjects.
The first week goes smoothly, each teacher has one afternoon with Jill making her sit at the very front of the classroom directly in front of their desk, giving them a lovely view. Nathan and I have a meeting with Sandra Wednesday afternoon, followed by a meeting with Jill Thursday morning.
Over the next month Jill does two tests from each teacher and one assignment from each, she fails each test and passes each assignment. It's following the second lot of tests that we put our plan into practice.
We choose Wednesday afternoon for our meeting with Sandra as it is sports afternoon with the majority of students and teachers off campus, giving us more privacy for our meetings.
As normal Nathan meets Sandra in reception bringing her into my office, showing her to the seat in front of my desk.
"Sandra I won't beat about the bush," I say leaning forward staring into her eyes, "I'm concerned, I've expected Jill's results to be a lot better than what they are."
"She did pass her assignments."
"They are only worth 30% of her final results, the classroom test and final exam make up the other 70%."
"Yes I know but she trying really hard," there's a slight tremor in Sandras voice, Nathan places a reassuring hand on her arm.
"I appreciate that but it's looks like her best efforts just aren't going to be good enough by themselves."
"What can we do, she's desperate, we're both desperate for her to graduate."
"Sandra this is where you can really help her."
A glimmer of hope appears on her face, you can hear it in her voice as she asks, "What can I do, I'll do anything, anything for my baby."
"Anything, you'll do anything."
"Yes, yes anything."
"Surely you must have some limits, anything has a broad definition."
"No I don't care what it is as long as it helps Jill graduate."
"So if I hand you this letter opener telling you to kill Nathan with it and guarantee that Jill's will graduate, would you?"
"No, no of course not that's murder."
I move one of Jill's test papers in front of Sandra placing the letter opener on it, "Then just stab him, if you do I'll change this F to an A."
"No, no I couldn't."
"You did say you would do anything, alright go across the street and rob the cafe and I'll change it to an A."
Sandra stares at me for a moment, she quickly glances at Nathan in the hope of some support, he just smiles at her his hand still resting on her arm.
"Your joking, you can't be serious."
"You said you'll do anything."
"Yes but murder, robbery no it's wrong."
"Like most people it's easy to say you'll do anything until you find out what that anything is," I stare at her for a moment, "Ok, how about I give her an E if you take your top off."
