Dear Students,

Your job is to figure things out. That’s what humans do. That’s what humans are good at. We’re not so good at following directions–we tend to make errors or skip steps. We’re not so good at carrying out the same task over and over and over–there’s a reason machines replace us.

But humans are really good at creating meaning, making connections, figuring out patterns, and solving problems.

So when there’s a problem in front of you, have faith in your ability to figure it out. You’re not supposed to know how to do it. But you are supposed to figure it out.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
