Losing Heart

In all honesty, I haven't gotten very far in the book. I tried to find it in stores and then ordered it off Amazon, but with the holiday and working all weekend, time has been limited.

My first impression of the book is that it fits in really well with our class discussions. I also really enjoyed the quotes listed on the page across from the Contents. One of my favorites is from Marcel Proust: "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." What a really great way of looking not only at life, but also relating it to the concept of education.

I'm excited to read more and discuss the different concepts- education vs. schooling and the idea of educating for peace...
