From Mr. Houli's Desk

Effective communication is one of the most powerful skills we teach young people. Someone else’s words can make a day or ruin it; their words can establish a new relationship or damage an existing one; words can convince others to agree, disagree, act, react, feel consoled, or inspired, or empowered. Rephrasing the words our students use can help reframe how they experience the world.
