Power of a Library
 
"The Blind Leading the Blind"

 "How does a generation that grew up uninitiated in the classics now pass on mentoring in classic works to the next generation?
 
"We know our children deserve better than what we can offer at home or school, but what can we do?"
 
 
 
Build a Family Library.
 
"A Family Library is more than just a collection of books that a family accumulates. A Family Library is a library of books that a family accumulates for themselves and their posterity."
~Shiloah Baker, "The Family Library"

What is TJEd?

 

 

Every person has inner genius. Thomas Jefferson Education consists of helping each student discover, develop and polish his or her genius. This is the essence and very definition of great education.
 

There are really only three kinds of education, and they are best understood from the student's perspective. Students get a good education for one of three reasons:
 
  • they are forced to study long, hard and effectively (the "Stick")
  • they are convinced or manipulated to study long, hard and effectively (the "Carrot")
  • they love to study long, hard and effectively (the "Love Affair")

If the first two are "good," the latter is truly "great."

The Stick, the Carrot, or the Love Affair: these are the three types of education; and the love affair is by far the most effective.
