LittleIzumi Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I think people are in love with TJed because the DeMilles are LDS. I know one family that used it but I would say it is harder than unschooling to make work. And it didn't work for the family I know, really. And so is Glenn Beck, and if I start to talk about him I will get myself banned :lol:. So. Yeah. Not everyone who's LDS agrees with everyone else who's LDS. But I can see the draw, at least. Linguistmama, congratulations!!!:party: I love your new motto in your siggy :lol:. And I checked your blog--cheers to another probably ADD HSing mom, lol. Makes life interesting!

Veritaserum Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 And luckily it's almost time for our July migration to UT to get out of the heat! You have got to be kidding me! Utah is hot! :svengo: (Granted, it's not as hot as AZ, but everything is too hot or too cold for this San Diego native. :tongue_smilie:) I am jealous of your support group. :) I'd like to have something like that, especially as my older kids get older. It's just tough to find other homeschooling families with older children who are a good fit with ours (not religious TJEders, open-minded, interested in the world rather than just the USA, etc.).

Heidi Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Both of my sisters have used Tjed and they would try to explain it to me, but it just sounded so... lame. One sister, at least, now despises all the wasted time TJed caused her. She now tells everyone to stay away from it. Thankfully I was introduced to WTM and that's when I fell in love with the idea of homeschooling and knew that I could do a good job at it. Even though I embrace CM more than WTM now, it is WTM that I recommend to everyone who is considering homeschooling. It's a great starting point and it maps out K-12. I finally read TJed a few months ago and still wasn't impressed. I don't get it: the book and why lds love it. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my Dh and I finally BOTH love where we live, and my only wish is for a group of likeminded homeschooling kids for my lo's to play with. A lot of my Dd friends are going off to "big girl" school, and she's starting to ask when she can go too. My reply that "you get to stay home with Mommy!" doesn't go over as well as I would hope. Oh well, she can moan all she wants, she has no clue what that life is like, and I still need a few more credits to reach world's meanest mom status. :tongue_smilie: It sounds like I really dodged the bullet by not having a brush with TJed.

What's it about? He lays out the principles that the founding fathers believed and established our government on. The Proper Role of Government, by Ezra T. Benson is another good one. As well as The Law, by Frederic Bastiat I sure didn't learn this stuff in school. Politics finally made sense to me after reading these books/essays.

What's it about? Well, seeing as how I haven't actually gotten through it myself, ;), DH read it and calls it a very fundamentalist perspective on the constitution. I have a vague idea that it's basically about how perfect the constitution is and our responsibility as members of the church to up hold it? I might be wrong about that. I like the constitution, but I don't worship it. A homeschooler in my mother's Salt Lake ward was leading a study group on it and my mother forced a copy into my hands.

That was just one of the little gems that was thrown at me while I was investigating the church. I think I uncovered it on a FARMS site? I was stunned that now I was getting info on how Mormons were crazy from their "own" sites. I had been relying on the SBC to furnish all the ammo up to that point. :tongue_smilie: Definitely caused issues. But as you can see I moved past it. But that was the only information I had on Skousen. It discolors his name for me, and I didn't want to totally discredit the guy, maybe he has made other, more positive contributions?

dangermom Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Skousen is...kind of interesting. When I was a teenager, my seminary teachers were very big on The First 2000 Years. When I finally read it, I was :blink: However, my seminary teachers were kinda crazy (as is nearly everyone in my hometown, LDS or not; I think they mine it for soap opera plotlines). I think I read about half of the 5000 Year Leap but I got bored. It's pretty much just a list of ideas in the Constitution that he likes.

Totally safe. :) And no Palin rallies, right? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 That's what I thought too! And I grew up in MT/WY. I'm kind of liking this springtimey weather we're having this year. Usually it goes from 45 degrees one week to 95 a week or two later. This extended run of 70's with all the nice rain has been lovely. (Well, y'know, except for all the flooding and the fact that nothing in my garden is growing quite right.) I always forget it's there. :blush: I am. I'm weird. Ask anyone who knows me. I don't think it's because I'm LDS, though. We have been having lovely weather lately. :) And I like being weird. :tongue_smilie: Or does anyone want to come to Kyrgyzstan to meet with us? We don't hear anything weird at church because we just get to do our own thing at home. And I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone doing TJE for a thousand miles around. No Skousen books either. Totally safe. :) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
