Dear Havers of Big Ideas,

We teach you to read, write, and problem solve because we want you to have big ideas about the world. You learn history and science because they are the stories of big ideas. How did the universe begin? Why do people do the things they do? These are some big ideas.

Big ideas are in stories and poems. People have had big ideas throughout history. When they have really, really big ideas, they write them down because it’s nearly impossible not to want to share your big idea.

You can survive in the world without big ideas, but you can’t be human without them.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
