I Think I Like You
I didn’t mean to fall for her. That’s not how things are supposed to work when you’re thirty, burned out from dating apps, and stuck in a job where management thinks pizza parties cure exhaustion. But there she was — just across the hall, red pen in hand, dissecting legal copy that made my eyes glaze over. Contracts, disclaimers — the kind of stuff meant to bore. Yet she gave it life. Maybe it was the way she leaned in, like the paper whispered secrets only she could hear.

The Biggest Myth in Education
In the landscape of modern education, a multitude of beliefs—some rooted in evidence, others in tradition—continue to shape how we approach teaching and learning. Among these, perhaps the most pervasive and damaging myth is the belief that intelligence is fixed—that individuals are born with a certain intellectual capacity and that their ability to learn is largely predetermined by genetics. This idea, often implicit in school systems and societal expectations, has profound consequences for students, educators, and the broader goals of education. Contrary to this myth, extensive research in neuroscience, psychology, and pedagogy reveals that intelligence is malleable, shaped by environment, effort, and opportunity. Understanding and rejecting this myth is essential for fostering inclusive, equitable, and high-achieving educational environments.
