The Cave, the Shadows and the Dolls

The cave is a two-part story. The first part is about, if you like, having a better grasp of the world around you. And then the second part outside the caveis about forms blabablo mathematics. So what i would expect that my em childs school ther c through 12 experience would give them is, on the one hand, wonderful stories early on in their education, and that corresponds to the shadows. And then later on, the ability see those stories as being just that, i e, stories of stories which relate in some way to the real world. That's more of a piece with the education that's discussed in books two and three.
