I bought several CDs from the Youth TJEDRefers generally to the concepts presented in the book A Thomas Jefferson Education, written by Dr. Oliver DeMille. We also have an Introduction to Thomas Jefferson Education available elsewhere on this site. Conference, but haven't listened to them yet; my youth were not able to go wih me. I bought several CDs of classes I attended, particularly the ones by Andrew Groft and Angela Baker, and I enjoyed classes by Julie Earley and Nicholeen Peck.

All four of these people have degrees from or are associated with George Wythe College, and so I was looking for proof in the pudding, so to speak. My dh refuses to consider GWCAn abbreviation of George Wythe University (formerly George Wythe College), a private liberal arts college headquartered in Cedar City, Utah, which Dr. Oliver DeMille helped found, and where he formerly served as president. There are also plans underway for building a much larger campus in Monticello, Utah, and plans have also been announced for a remote campus in Alberta, Canada. for our children, because it is unaccredited, therefore not accountable to a body whose authority he recognizes, therefore not eligible to grant federal student aid to their students, which means our children would have to be completely self-funding (After 17 years of marriage and unremitting work, we finally have our heads above water consistently; we would buy a house before funding college for our children).

I found that each of these four people has a different focus; each one probably has a degree in a different area of study. Each of them spoke very knowledgeably in his or her field. I spoke a litle with two of them and in some depth with Angela Baker. I was impressed to ask her what her mission in life is, and she told me. I found it related very well to the various mission categories DeMille outlines in some of his talks. It was wonderful to talk to people who are sincerely trying to better themselves and others. They give me a sense that they each have studied and pondered to know what they should focus on, and they are going after those things full-bore, all efforts, with kindness and understanding for those of us who aren't sure what we're doing. They were very encouraging and uplifting.

I went to the conference in large part because I wanted to find people who think deeply and who take life seriously (not somberly, but deliberately), who can have fun but who have a definite purpose to what they're doing. And it helps that I'm LDS and trying to implement TJEDRefers generally to the concepts presented in the book A Thomas Jefferson Education, written by Dr. Oliver DeMille.

I can see why TJEDRefers generally to the concepts presented in the book A Thomas Jefferson Education, written by Dr. Oliver DeMille.

That kind of deep thought and study requires time and energy, patience, and diligence. Only a clear vision or mental picture that the results will be worth the effort can keep you on course long enough to reach the goal.

I got a lot out of: "The Way You See Government is the Way You See Education" by Dr. Groft,
"Raising Children With Character" by Nicholeen Peck,
"A Renaissance of Kings" by Dr. Groft,
"Plato and the Handcart Principle" by Angela Baker,
"Adult Phases of TJEdRefers generally to the concepts presented in the book A Thomas Jefferson Education, written by Dr. Oliver DeMille. We also have an Introduction to Thomas Jefferson Education available elsewhere on this site." by Dr. Earley,
"Intro to TJEdRefers generally to the concepts presented in the book A Thomas Jefferson Education, written by Dr. Oliver DeMille. We also have an Introduction to Thomas Jefferson Education available elsewhere on this site. (part 1): The Four Phases of Education" by Dr. Earley,
"A Joyful Mother" by Angela Baker.

Note: one of the presenters for the homeschooling part of the conference is Alison something. She is not a TJEder and has written some expressing her misgivings about TJEdRefers generally to the concepts presented in the book A Thomas Jefferson Education, written by Dr. Oliver DeMille. We also have an Introduction to Thomas Jefferson Education available elsewhere on this site.. I did not attend her class and so I don't know if it came up in the class.

I bought several other CDs but haven't listened to them all yet. I also bought two GWCAn abbreviation of George Wythe University (formerly George Wythe College), a private liberal arts college headquartered in Cedar City, Utah, which Dr. Oliver DeMille helped found, and where he formerly served as president.

Both of these I have listened to and found very enlightening.

I'm coming from a phase in my life when I had a lot of time to sit and read and think (while being pregnant and while nursing) to a phase when I'm constantly moving about. This is an application phase, applying what I've learned before going in depth learning more. So at the moment I'm working on being present in the moment with my children (and witnessing vastly improved relationships with my 11yo and 3yo) and holding mighty prayer, not rote or perfunctory prayer. This is because my core classic study reminded me that I have not been praying much lately (because I've been moving from dawn to midnight every day). So! Next project: remember to stop and pray and converse with the Lord, sort out what's really important to do and do it.

I just returned from a week at my mother-in-laws's home. My dh and seven children and I enjoyed being there very much. It was an opportunity to spend time with aunts, uncles, and cousins who will not be around there much longer, as my older children and the older cousins are headed for college and jobs in a couple years. I also had time to ruminate on what extended family relationships should be. It was enlightening, and while I'm glad we were able to spend time there, I'm thankful to live far enough away to form our own family traditions without quite so many relationships to maintain. It has been useful to look at our family members from a distance as well as up close.

There are serious differences in priorities, religion, core classics, and attitudes towards personal missions that we would have to combat constantly if we lived there. There are also differences in definitions of what loyalty to the family means.

Nepotism, for instance, is acceptable to most of them, but not to me. I'm in favor of forming a close, loving, supportive community, but I would base it on rule of law and true principles, not solely on family relationships. Family connections are a necessary and true principle, but they cannot be allowed to get in the way of honesty, hard work, or core classic study. What is best for family members includes holding them responsible for their own decisions and giving them what they need, not necessarily what they want.
