Quote #10

Dumb. It's what everyone had said, when she'd struggled in school or asked questions that made people laugh behind their hands: "Don't worry about it. You're a pretty girl. You'll be fine." But Tiara had worried about it. She felt like someday there would be a test that didn't involve getting an A in pretty, and she would fail it. That test day had come. (37.15)

Poor Tiara was not taught to value education at all, because she was pretty. We just want to tell her she knows more than she thinks. Just think of that water-catching dress, after all.
