    How Children Learn
At the root of the decision of how to view education are two divergent views of childhood. The first view rejects the notion that there are distinct learning phases--assuming that children, youth and adults learn the same way.
 
 
 
This view arranges its curriculum and educational methodology accordingly and drives the public conveyor belt and the elite competitive professional conveyor belt. This educational view treats all people of any age virtually the same, so that young children are molded into an adult-type system.
 
 
The second view affirms that children, youth and adults actually learn differently and that this must be taken into account in the setup of their educational environment and in the approach of their parents, teachers and mentors. This is the phases approach on which Thomas Jefferson Education is based.
