The Make-Up Class

📚 Summer School

You can be a five-star personality and still land here. This is the zone for the ones who hold three or more stars — real conduct — but flunk one of the two critical Articles: getting the money out (Open Books) or honoring the vote (Free & Fair Elections). Merit doesn’t buy back a non-negotiable.

The assignment, before reconsideration:
  1. Summer school for Civics.
  2. Watch every Schoolhouse Rock episode — five times.
  3. Submit a one-page report — due before the end of the year.

Clear the critical Article you missed and the door reopens. That part is entirely up to you.

The syllabus

Civics, the way it was taught to us. (Embedded from YouTube — same as it ever was.)

I’m Just a BillHow a bill becomes a law. Start here.
The Preamble“We the People…” — the whole point, in one song.
Three-Ring GovernmentThree branches. Checks. Balances. Revolutionary stuff.
No More KingsWhy we don’t do coronations here.

The Reading Room

The papers that built the country — and the laws that made it fairer. Big ideas made small, so a third-grader gets them. Illustrated like a storybook. (Pictures on the way.)

Currently enrolled 21

Below detention — under three stars, and a critical fails too — sits 22 not fit for public office. That isn’t a homework problem. Expect to hear from us, often.
