"The pull of the conveyor belt is very strong for parents who were schooled in that system-which is most parents day. When the temptation to return to requiring, textbooks, canned curriculum, and even public school arises, we as parents go back to those feelings present when we first felt that TJEd was right for our family."

For me that was the spring of 2005 when DC was four months old. A friend introduced me to her friend and neighbor who was hosting a guest speaker on TJEd in her home. I felt it then and knew it was right for our family.
After trying the conveyor belt for 16 days, I return "home" to those feelings present on that day in 2005. It feels right. It works great. We are happy and thriving once again!
Here is a Mini Introduction to the EIGHT keys of great teaching:
1. Classics, not textbooks
2. Mentors, not Professors
3. Inspire, not require
4. Structure time, not Content
5. Quality, not conformity
6. Simplicity, not Complexity
7. YOU, not Them
8. Secure, not Stressed

"We can trust that desire to give our children a chance to become truly educated, great men and women of character who will someday change the world. Our children have important missions to fulfill, and parents are equipped to help them live up to those missions. But we have to trust our hearts, our feelings, those whisperings from God.
"Trusting the process yields the best results for a true Leadership Education. Just keep moving forward on the path you have chosen."
