Education vs. Training

Lord Brougham said:
"Education makes a people easy to
lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave."
Specialized professional training is not the
same as this kind of education.
In fact, the most highly trained but shallowly
educated populace before ours was Germany in the 1930s.
A highly trained nation,
without widespread and deep classical education, is easy to drive and mislead.

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.
