"Learning by faith and learning from experience are two of the central features of the Father's plan of happiness. The Savior preserved moral agency through the Atonement and made it possible for us to act and to learn. Lucifer's rebellion against the plan sought to destroy the agency of man, and his intent was that we as learners would only be acted upon." — Elder David A. Bednar, Increase in Learning, p.3 |

| In many places it is literally not safe physically for youngsters to go to school. And in many schools — and it's becoming almost generally true — it is spiritually unsafe to attend public schools."

Teaching in the Home: Lessons from the April 2010 General Conference The Conference included strong calls for improved teaching in the home. These messages are a shaft of light for all parents and a between-the-lines validation for those who homeschool.

Eyring, Help Them on Their Way Home Other Conference Talks Every Home a Family School Not every family is in a position to "home school," but all parents can establish a learning culture in their home. This may mean just a change in the conversation at the dinner table and a new bookshelf. It may involve an hour or two on Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons as a family experiences the joy of learning together . . . . read our School of the Family Proposal Preside, Provide, and Protect, by Neil J. Flinders Learning and teaching, following and leading are the substance of human life. Remove these functions and very little is left.

Mothers Speak I was sitting on the floor with my oldest daughter the first time she read a word. She was sooooo proud of herself! I called my husband, who was at work at the time, bawling my eyes out because I got to be there to see the glow on her face when she knew she could read.

Is there an LDS education? Is there a
curriculum the Lord would have us learn? A method He would have us use? Is there an educational path to Zion? The Book of Mormon tells us to "trust no one to be your teacher nor your minister, except he be a man of God, walking in his ways and keeping his commandments" (Mosiah 23:14). But what are His educational ways?

"A millennial society will emerge in our future; we can either resist or contribute to its development. The basic stewardships that will push this movement into the future reside in each family. Our society will change as our education changes. . . individuals from many families must do the creative work. .. . As this education is firmly established, temporal excellence in learning will blossom and Zion will increase in beauty and in holiness; her borders will be enlarged, her stakes strengthened, and she will put on her beautiful garments (D&C 82:1-4). And the children will be taught through an agency approach to education." — Neil J. Flinders, Teach the Children: An Agency Approach to Education, BYU, 1990 |
