CROSS-BOOK PROBLEM-SOLVING FILE
The problem underneath the problem
A complaint is often the visible edge of something else. Across the series, Dewey repeatedly improves a case by asking what earlier event, condition, motive, or unmet need could explain the behavior everyone is reacting to.

Use the case maps to compare how this idea changes when the problem belongs to a parent, a teacher, a school system, or a sibling.
