Educating: A Memoir

Product Information

Her deep processing of all that she endured including the intimidation, bullying, gaslighting, physical abuse, and manipulation is what led her to fight for her eventual triumphant escape in to a new life. I feel that her deep faith and respect for God our Creator is what cultivated in her the will to fight, and the fortitude to try to make sense of all that happened to her. She drew upon world history and the study of historians themselves, to make sense of other cultures and peoples. Ultimately her own personal journey was an exploration of life and faith. Her difficult journey and her deep faith in the face of adversity, has yielded within her blessings of comtemplation, scholarship, and knowledge of history, culture and human nature. We are witnessing the evidence of her truth in the fruits of her journey, the triumphant success of her career, her wonderful writing and advanced educational degrees. Her story was captivating and inspiring. Tyler Westover: Westover's older brother, the third brother of the seven siblings. Tyler is the first to go to college, and he encourages Westover to take the ACT so she can apply and go, too. He supports her against their parents and brother Shawn. He is 8 years older than Tara.

This important book argues that while students have been taught how to read, they have not been taught what to read and that cultural literacy matters far more than vague notions of 21st century skills. In short, what’s needed is a more serious look at the curriculum and a greater focus on what we are teaching instead of how we teach it.
