Welcome to A Thomas Jefferson Education Blog Carnival

I've received MANY submissions for this new carnival, but most articles are unrelated to the principles of A Thomas Jefferson Education.  I've only included posts from authors who have read A Thomas Jefferson Education by Oliver DeMille.  Quality not quantity is the goal for this blog carnival.   Presenting the 2nd Edition:

You Not Them

Redneck Liber shares from the heart in Finding INCREDIBLE Epiphanies Anywhere.   Peg asks, "How do I get myself a superb liber education while changing diapers, mopping floors, doing dishes, cooking meals, changing diapers, doing laundry, educating my masses? Screaming out loud when do I get my turn?"

Inspire Not Require

Lara at the Lazy Organizer gets down to basics, sharing her experience with the concept of Inspire not Require.  Sometimes we forget just how practical and simple this principle can be to wrap our heads around.  Thanks for the humorous visual of all your efforts towards inspiration!

Mentors & The Classics

Mentoring Boys to Men shares how parents can be mentors to their children through shared expereinces; specifically,  reading aloud from classic literature.

Love of Learning Phase

I asked a question about finding good books, and other learning opportunities for the 12-13 year old boys at my house.  Literary Testosterone offers some suggestions.

Submit your future blog articles to the next edition of A Thomas Jefferson Education Carnival using our carnival submission form.   Thanks for visiting.

I am 23 and was home schooled since I was in second grade. When I was 14 my mother discovered TJ ed and it has changed my family's life. We got involved in a program offered by LEMI (Leadership Education Mentoring Institute) which provided guidance to help us on our way. Since that time my sister and I (she is 20) have both attended George Wythe College (the college founded by Dr. DeMille). We have loved our education and would recommend it to any home school parent looking for success with their children. I really does form leaders and help you think by your self.

My sister now runs her own newspaper and is working at our capital to help change tax laws. I teach a Shakespeare class and am currently writing a book. You will be amazed at what your kids can do.

I just linked to your blog carnival. I was writing about why I want to read the Thomas Jefferson Education, and your carnival had the most interesting, informative and inspirational reviews on the book. I feel like I've learned enough about the method that I could- gasp- try it unsupervised. I've ordered the book and I can't wait until it arrives. Thank you for hosting this forum. Here's the post I linked you from: <a href="http://mrshannigan.blogspot.com/2008/03/thomas-jefferson-education.html">Thomas Jefferson Education</a>


And if I can't use html in the comment, then paste this URL

Hi Maureen!

I haven't blogged much about schooling for awhile, but I recently wrote an entry on my new homeschool related blog at http://www.harvesthomeacademy.wordpress.com. I wasn't sure if you were still receiving entries for the TJED blog carnival, but thought you at least might like to read my latest post, entitled Mom School - Electronics Club.
