Episode Details

One of the most famous opening lines in classic literature is, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

Do you remember the book?  If you guessed A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, then you were probably paying attention during your Middle School Language Arts class.

As you read this, your school year is winding down and your summer plans are on the near horizon. Summer can be the best of times and the worst of times to get things done and get “caught up” as a private school leader.

It can be the best of times because you have less interruptions, more time to think and more time to proactively get things done. Summer can also be the worst of times to work on things that we should do, because you are exhausted and you need to rest your brain and your body to be in good shape to do it all over again in a few months.

On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, I am going to try to persuade you to Do 1 Of These 4 Things This Summer To Have A Better 25/26 School Year.

Thank you for listening to the podcast every week. You are making a difference in the lives of the students, teachers and parents at your school. I know that what you do is difficult, exhausting and lonely. Your hard work inspires me to keep making weekly content to try to encourage and inspire you as you serve your school.

Thanks for all you do,

Mark Minkus
