Educating Leaders - No Conveyor Belt Education Here!

August 17, 2005 - My Oldest Goes to College

I can't believe it is here, the day my oldest goes to her first college class.  It seems like yesterday we were playing with play doh and coloring books.  We are embarking on a new season of life for her and for us.  Since this is really her last year in high school, she is taking only one class.  I am very excited for her and the studies she will have.  She has chosen to take Lordship at our local Christian college, New Saint Andrews.  It is a fantastic course that covers a vast amount of historical and current literature as you discover that Jesus Christ is to be Lord over all of your life.  I wish I had taken this class when I was her age. 

The past few days have been filled with orientation, registration and book buying.  Last night we attended the school's Convocation, a kick-off for the new school year.  In the middle of the Convocation, each professor stands up and gives his or her assignment for the first class, to be completed before the first class today or tomorrow. Some of those kids have a whole lot of reading to be ready.

Back to Lordship... One thing I will be watching is their time of recitation each week.  It seems that this is a time of mentoring as described in A Thomas Jefferson Education.  In addition to the weekly lecture, students meet with the professor in groups of two or three and discuss the readings for the week.  It will be interesting to hear how this goes.  I'll keep you posted.
