  • Just like conversation, writing helps us make sense of what we are learning and helps us make connections to our own lives or others' ideas.
  • You can't avoid thinking when you write.

The time has never been more ready for systemic change than right now, and we’ve never had better tools to achieve this level of creative disobedience, to successfully prepare our children for the big challenges that lie ahead. It might be uncomfortable and take a bit of work, but our future depends on this radical change in order to survive.
