Lately, I’ve been craving a particular a type of op-ed: the “I was wrong” piece.

Back in June, an education policy expert who helped push No Child Left Behind wrote a guest essay in the New York Times about how he and colleagues got it wrong. “Over time, I became convinced that, with the best of intentions, I and many others in the education reform community had transferred our moral commitment to children over to the standardized tests. We had done this earnestly, not cynically, but we still did damage,” he wrote.

It's a shame that this type of op-ed is so rare, because I think it’s one of the most powerful types of persuasive writing. A headline that says “I was wrong” certainly catches the eye — but more importantly, this type of piece requires the writer to take the reader through their thought process, forcing them to address the strongest counterarguments.

Have you changed your mind about something? Perhaps you’re a physician who thought one thing, and then personal experience with a diagnosis taught you otherwise. Maybe, like the New York Times writer, you’re a policy expert who realized that what you advocated for didn’t work as intended or hoped. Or maybe you’re a biotech executive who thought AI would be transformative, then realized that it isn’t (yet?) the case.

Whatever it might be, I want to hear it. Send me your “I changed my mind” or “I got it wrong” submissions.
