The Power of a Mother
 
 

Home, School and Nation

"[A] nation is but a magnified home. Parliament and Congress are but hearthstones on a grander scale.
"Napoleon understood well the nature of home and its mission when he said, 'The great need of France is mothers..'
 
"An old Scottish proverb says, 'An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy.'
 
"Mohammad said, 'Paradise is at the feet of mothers.'"
 
-C.E. Sargent, Our Home

 
"We as women who benefit from the example of our ancient mothers and the sacrifices of our 18th to 20th century sisters may now take the reins and define female leadership for our generation and the generations that follow. But we must correct some of the excesses as well as the failures of last century's narrow feminism.
 

"For me, a mother is any adult woman who mentors youth, who helps them grow into contributing, happy adults. There are as many ways to get involved as there are women, but all of us must do it. And the marital or maternal status of a woman has nothing to do with her fully participating in this mission.

"There is a power that women bring to the table, the power of shaping a community--of changing its very heart--a power that lasts for generations, not just between elections. This power is best expressed by the woman who sets out to raise her great grandchildren."

The Phases of Learning

 
 
Less Stress,
Greater Outcomes

 
 
One of the most significant differences between Thomas Jefferson Education and other classical styles of education has to do with the belief that people, especially children, learn differently at different ages.
