Starting today (on the 30th), NBA star "Little Emperor" LeBron James has another identity. The "I Promise School" he founded is officially launched, allowing James to enter the education industry.

The news that James opened a public school was reported last year that this primary school in the Akron area is a collaboration between James' foundation and local public schools. The school's purpose is to help children get rid of their original difficulties and backgrounds through education; it promises that primary schools will only recruit students in grades 3 and 4 this year, and plans to expand to other grades for several years.
The promised elementary school, which has been conceived for nearly 10 years, was officially established. James couldn't hide his excitement. He posted on Twitter the day before, saying that this day would be one of the best moments in his life, and revealed the reason why the school only recruited two grade students in the first year.
"The thin child from Akron, the child who missed the fourth grade course for 83 days, had a big dream..." This is one of James's Twitter posts. His experience in the fourth grade of elementary school led to a promise to recruit students in the primary school. At that time, James missed nearly 40% of the fourth grade course. Fortunately, through the recommendation and encouragement of the Walker family, he re-entered his school life in Akron.
Public schools in the Akron area usually have 23 students. The James Foundation hired another 4 teachers to change the number of students in a promised primary school to 20. The course is expected to be from July 30 this year to May 17 next year, with 7 weeks of additional course tutoring to help students catch up with the course progress.
James is expected to invest million US dollars in education. He and his foundation hope that more than 1,200 children can successfully enter university in 2029 through the course; currently promises that there will be more than 40 staff in primary school, and there are many plans to continue James, including a free Akron University course starting in 2021, and allowing parents of risky families to return to school to complete their high school studies.
