How nice to see A Thomas Jefferson Education ...Hey!<br />How nice to see A Thomas Jefferson Education promoted! TJEd suggests reading the science and math classics as well -so you may need a curriculum where you actually do math equations! The HUGE advantage of the Book/Mentor model is Bible study: reading and discussing for life! Reading the Classics when my husband and I were in school was limited to a few -often depressing and vulgar- classics; not anything to encourage a lifelong desire to Learn, Know, and Apply. Kudos to your family adventure!Margaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389220019377862743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-28688053386730420822014-05-04T21:28:07.516-06:002014-05-04T21:28:07.516-06:00Amber: Math and Science for sure has not been her ...Amber: Math and Science for sure has not been her strong suits or big interests for her. But she has done some. <br /><br />She gets quite a bit of science just from her brother's love of it. <br /><br />I have tried not to push things they don't love because I have found it just makes them hate it. I do try to help them to see the need for at least the basics. <br /><br />In the last couple of years I actually see her choosing to study some of these subjects she doesn't care for on her own. <br /><br />In fact just this week she was having her younger brother explain long division. I also see her picking up math books and working out of them. I don't expect she will be a math wiz but she will have the basics down in no time!<br /><br />As of right now she doesn't think she wants to go to college she wants to be a writer. I try to tell her not to totally rule out college but I wont push it either.<br /><br />She is a great girl and has a great love for learning and have no doubt that she will work hard to fill in those gaps we missed over the years.Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922208064935842126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-4435058329150683282014-05-04T04:43:11.253-06:002014-05-04T04:43:11.253-06:00I love homeschooling too! I don't do TJED tho...I love homeschooling too! I don't do TJED though, and I'm just wondering how much math and science Missy has done, she just didn't mention it and I am interested to know, also what her college plans are. Regardless, she looks and sounds like a great girl, congrats!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01770576146756130574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-15648481910081109182014-04-30T13:21:20.117-06:002014-04-30T13:21:20.117-06:00Gosh, I love that girl!
