Big thanks to the 15 of you who have already signed up for our July 25 discussion of “Private Schools Are Indefensible,” by Caitlin Flanagan. It’s going to be a good one!

This week, we’re annotating this copy of the article together. It’s a great way to connect with other Article Clubbers and share your first thoughts about the piece, right inside the text. You can add to others’ comments or add your own.

Try it, you’ll like it!

I like annotating because it gets me deeper into the article so I understand it better. But my favorite part is seeing what you all write. In case you’re nervous about annotating: Remember, at Article Club, we don’t have to be fancy or smart. (We’re already fancy and smart!)

Coming up this month

• This week: We’ll annotate the article with fellow Article Clubbers.

• Next week: We’ll share our first impressions about the article.

• Sunday, July 25: We’ll discuss the article with fellow Article Clubbers.

Are you new to Article Club? If so, welcome! We look forward to meeting you and having your voice in the conversation. Feel free to reach out with questions: mark@highlighter.cc.
