To be wise... |
|
"And fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest
aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise as
priests, prophets or philosophers are wise. Specialized competence and success
are all that they can imagine."
If education is about specialization, competence and career
success, then we will approach it one way.
If it as about gaining wisdom, we
will approach it another.
If your
whole purpose in educating your child were to help her become truly wise, what
would you do?

You can now sign up for ALEKS math
instruction through TJEd.org, and one of our helpful assistants will facilitate
your membership. This excellent instructional program/supplement (depending on
how you want to use it) can cost $240 a year per student for
homeschooling families.
Through
TJEd.org you can save upwards of 2/3 on the cost of a yearly subscription; and with multiple students from the same
family, you save even more.
With included assessments and
instruction from K-12+, ALEKS will help you:
- facilitate independent learning
- build math competency
- aid in college prep
- document compliance with
district, state and provincial requirements
My own daughters have enjoyed being
able to go at their own pace, and go from level to level-all for the same price
of the yearly subscription.

No one can deny the value of a great idea well- commu-nicated. The
inspiration, innovation and ingenuity inherent in great ideas elevate
those who study them.
Great ideas are most effectively learned directly from the greatest
thinkers, historians, artists, philosophers and prophets, and their
original works.
Great works inspire greatness, just as mediocre or poor works usually
inspire mediocre and poor achievement. The great accomplishments of
humanity are the key to quality education.
A "classic" is a work (be it literature, music, art, etc.) that's worth returning to over and over because you get more from it
each time.
