Have you got your
ears on?

There's so much in your day, so many tasks, so many voices.
Sometimes we look everywhere for answers, when the cues and clues are right there in front of us (if perhaps a foot or two shorter...).
Do you listen enough to your children or students? Really
listen?
When was the last time you stopped what you were doing when they came
near and just dedicated your hour to listening to everything they had to say?
Try it today.
Mentoring is all about listening.

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.
