*reaction for most of the book*: internally screaming

I was excited to read this because it was from an internal caring aspect; then I realized it was educational philosophy—granted it was one I shared—but from the secular academic perspective rather than my own Christian faith. As a Christian academic, I do not understand why others go out of their way to make the “fix it” point not about Jesus. The points that are attempting to come out as deep and revelatory just end up flat and contrived and saying what they’re trying NOT to say in the first place.

This was a helpful read because it showed me there are teachers who desire this book’s philosophy and educational outcome, even if it’s secular in nature. While I don’t agree with making education about the Self, I agree that subjectivity is needed, in life as well as education. Life itself is messy, so why not handle it appropriately through teaching subjects, dealing with the messiness of history, literature, science?
