Yes.

Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking.

Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

'How do we ensure reading in schools is purposeful?' by @MrCranePE

A helpful blog - with a focused school example - of deliberate reading routines. This can be particularly useful for secondary schools who can leave reading instruction to chance.
