Problem: What are your reactions to the quotes (one by British author Virginia Woolf and the other by American educational reformer John Dewey) that appear before the Table of Contents in this book? Why do you think Westover chose these two quotations?
"The past is beautiful because one never realizes an emotion at the time. It expands later, & thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only the past"
Virginia Woolf
"I believe finally, that education must be conceived as a continuing reconstruction of experience; that the process and the goal of education are one and the same thing."
John Dewey
