Why Learning?
|
|
"Why do you wish to learn? Do you seek power? Riches?"
"What I shall seek tomorrow, I do not know. Today, I seek
only to know. My mind asks questions for which I have no answers. Within me
there is a loneliness for knowledge. I would know what is thought by wise men
and what is believed in other lands, far from here. I would open the dark and
empty avenues of my mind to the brightness of a new sun and populate it with
ideas."
"Please get down. My house is yours."

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

Great Teaching |

There are seven principles of successful education.

applied, learning occurs for any learning style or interests.

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
