I've always believed and said that you don't have to homeschool to "do" TJED. One of my sisters is in this category. She and her family absolutely have a TJED lifestyle and her girls go to a charter school. Now I really get it. TJEDers who use schools are using them as a resource to help with academics and maybe a few other areas of their children's development. But they remain the mentors of their children, coordinating the outside help with their larger effort of growing a person. Homeschoolers use a lot of outside help too. It is almost impossible to do it all on your own. I certainly don't plan to. For TJEDers that send their kids to school, the challenge is they have a lot less time with their kids to work on all areas of development. They have to be more choosy with their family time. But again, they know what their kids need most and they can ensure that their kids get what they really need.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271113049294643932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579918.post-14530107263129666842012-06-04T09:49:59.054-07:002012-06-04T09:49:59.054-07:00Thanks Andrea!
