I have to say this full blown Thomas Jefferson Education is hard work. Jumping off the coveyor belt is challenging. It has taken me over 5 years to even get this far! But we came through with our heads held high last week. We had numerous parent executive sessions discussing things. We've made some HUGE changes and have already seen some very positive results.
We have given out stewardship assignments in addition to daily chores. We have made goals and had some interviews with all of them on specific things with their education. (Alex usually meets with them monthly). We have more succinctly identified Core Phase, Love of Learning and Scholar phase for them.
I've been trying to apply some of the ingredients a little more effectively. It's been good for me to reread mornings, 6 month inventory, compass, binder, evenings and winters from Leadership Education by the DeMilles.
This post here is a true Thomas Jefferson day. This is what they choose....
For those who know nothing about the Thomas Jefferson Education try these websites: TJEd blog, TJEd Consortium , and DeMille's website.

Congrats on taking that leap. I hope it will get easier for you as the days go by. You are -almost- inspiring me to take the leap with a Charlotte Mason education. : )
