My students who are poor writers are also poor thinkers.
Many are smart, but their ideas are sporadic, unfocused, and weak.
This is why students MUST learn how to write clear and focused arguments.
Writing trains the mind to think clearly and rationally.

While skirmishes between advocates of traditional gifted education and their opponents make headlines, millions of capable students still need to be challenged.
Good news: a third way in advanced education is emerging. Read @pegtyre's report on it here: https://t.co/OCdliJzOvw
After a year of study and reporting all over the country, my question is this: how did progressives, who had the right intentions, get it so wrong? And why is this argument stuck in the 1980s? @AASAHQ@FutureEdGU@hechingerreport
@FutureEdGU senior fellow @pegtyre makes a compelling case for replacing traditional gifted-and-talented programs with a new model of advanced programming that's both rigorous and inclusive. @AASAHQ@NSBAPublicEd

And I was thrilled to help @pegtyre even a little bit with her exploration of @MCPS' new approach to increasing equitable access to advanced education. Always love visiting schools in my backyard, and seeing the Humanities magnet program at Eastern Middle School was no exception.

KP Publicity Manager @JuliaBorcherts met up with #KPCrew members Peter Blauner and @PegTyre for lunch while all were in Prague. Then, Peg and Peter left for a five-day bicycle ride to Dresden.
1/@herz -- paid for a car in advance. Arrived at Skyharbor and was told no cars. "wait for someone to turn one in." Thirty other customers lined up waiting in a dark garage, too. At 1 am on a Saturday night.
