Parker Palmer, in his book The Courage to Teach, asserts the purpose of education saying, "... all can win and none need lose, [where] 'winning' means emerging from the encounter with a larger sense of self than one brought into it, in which we learn that the self is not a scrap of turf to be defended but a capacity to be enlarged." (Palmer, 1998, p. 39)
