On a scale of 1-10 How important is learning in my life? 10! To learn is to adapt. The world is so dynamic and rapidly changing that failure to learn is risky. Learning is life giving and world expanding. #TLC2021

Last spring I had an enlightening convo with some passionate 10th graders about the strained state of discourse at our high school. I’m excited to announce we’re kicking off a discourse club to learn how to have productive convos. Thanks FIRE for the resources!
