"...they always close their books instinctively at the end of the story and before the author's note. "
That's why I don't like notes at the beginning of the book. I think they may inhibit a student from getting to the story. The story should be able to stand on its on, while the notes can add enriching information such as the excellent ones at the end of Number the Stars.
