Why Writing Might Be the Most Powerful Skill You’ll Ever Learn

This educator has one big goal:

To lead students into developing real critical thinking skills.

But what does that even mean?

At its core, critical thinking isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room or winning every argument. It’s not just having an opinion. It’s about understanding why you believe something—and being open to changing your mind when evidence suggests you should.

In other words, thoughtful students do the following:

• Consider perspectives that differ from their own

• Seek out and analyze credible evidence

• Recognize faulty reasoning and emotional manipulation

• Separate fact from opinion

• Prioritize logic over preference or bias

• Stay open to growth and learning

Why Does This Matter?

Because across the country, educators, employers, and even politicians are sounding the alarm: critical thinking is on the decline. And it shows. Literacy rates are falling. Many young people are struggling—not just with reading or writing, but with understanding the world around them in a meaningful, reflective way.

So, What Can You Do About It?

Start writing.

Seriously. Writing is one of the most powerful skills you have to figure out who you are and how you see the world. It’s not just about grammar or essays or getting through English class. It’s about thinking.

When you write, you slow your mind down enough to examine your thoughts. You start making connections, uncovering ideas, noticing gaps, and yes—sometimes changing your mind. That process of discovery is critical thinking.

Great writers know this secret:

You don’t write what you already know—you write to find out what you think.

Every sentence is a step forward in your thinking. And as you revise, you refine your ideas. You become more logical, more thoughtful, more articulate. You become a better thinker.

And here’s the best part: critical thinkers get results.

They earn higher grades. They get into better colleges. They land jobs they care about. They lead, they innovate, they create change.
