Definition of Education

2011-11-17T07:35:00.000-08:00

"EDUCA'TION, noun [Latin educatio.] The bringing up, as of a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.” (Noah Webster, Webster's 1828 Dictionary, 1828.)

"...Do not be discouraged because you cannot learn all at once; learn one thing at a time, learn it well, and treasure it up, then learn another truth and treasure that up, and in a few years you will have a great store of useful knowledge which will not only be a great blessing to yourselves and your children, but to your fellow men." Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, p. 269

True Aim of Education

2011-05-24T02:20:00.000-07:00

I heard a statement years ago that has stuck with me. It went something like this...."The true aim of education is education of the heart". As I've pondered that over the years it's been reiterated to me that what we're doing in the home is for the purpose of building, strengthening and helping our children to become the best that they can become. True education is who we turn out to be not....what we turn-out (as far as paperwork or handouts or 'busy work' etc.)

Have you ever wondered about Homeschooling?

2009-09-14T12:51:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered about homeschooling? How do people do it? Are their kids weird? Are they weird? What curriculum do they use? Do their kids have friends? What about 'socialization'? Do they sit at desks for 6 hrs. a day? Do the kids make it to college?

If any of these questions have crossed your mind; check out some of our blogger families or review some of the books on our list of great books.

Many families across the world see the need for alternatives to public education for various reasons. Every child learns differently and every family and child has varying needs, desires, talents, goals, challenges etc. Sitting at a desk may not be the best way for your child to learn; in fact, for many, it's one of the worst.
