"It is as much the duty of parents, then, to adorn and
beautify their home as it is to keep the moral atmosphere of that home pure.
"Indeed, the latter cannot exist without the former."
During this season we tend to give a great deal of thought to how we decorate our homes, the music that is played, the foods, the activities, etc., all in order to achieve a certain experience.
If it is well-said that we do well to live each day as if it were Christmas, then might we not also want to consider the way our home is decorated year-round? The music we play? The activities, food, etc., in order to achieve a certain mood, spirit and experience?

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.
