Time, not Content |

"Too often
students are given answers to remember, rather than problems to solve"
"I find that a great part of the information I
have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the
way."
~Franklin P. Adams
"No method of
learning is effective without adequate time. Time takes structure. If
the goal is teaching students how to think, we need to do it the
leadership way. We need structure in order to give adequate time and
attention to learning, but the key is to structure the time, not the content."
~A Thomas Jefferson Education, p. 45

serious about integrating the TJEd lifestyle into your family/homeschool
life."

Great Teaching |

There are seven principles of successful education.
When they are
applied, learning occurs for any learning style or interests.
When they
are ignored or rejected, the quantity and quality of education
decreases.
1. Classics, Not Textbooks
2. Mentors, Not Professors
3. Inspire, Not Require
4. Structure Time, Not Content
5. Simplicity, Not Complexity
6. Quality, Not Conformity
