Profound Ideas About Attitudes and Roles In Learning Greatly
from Homeschool With Excellence · host Esther Bontrager
Did you know that certain things are NOT yours to do as a parent/teacher? When we don’t understand what is ours to do and what is the child’s to do, it’s natural for us to try to do what is theirs and to become frustrated when it doesn’t work. In so doing we teach mediocre lessons rather than great ones. This episode teaches a few key things that are ours to do so that we can really deliver greatly as the parent/teacher and as we accomplish this, our children are empowered to learn greatly. The books that have helped me find so much inspiration around education are A Thomas Jefferson Education by Demille and Dumbing Us Down by Gatto; so good!! Enjoy;)
