3 Educational Goals

My 3 educational goals for my children are:

1. They learn to think for themselves.
2. They grow to desire nothing more than to live for and serve God.
3. They learn to problem solve.

How can I best accomplish this? It's something Lincoln and I have been pondering...

Be the person you want your children to be. They learn what they live.

I always say that I want my child to be a curious, life long learner. That is actually part of the educational philosophy I had to write as a teacher! I think also developing communications skills - verbal, written, and body language - are essential skills. I think finally the ability to comprehend, enjoy, articulate, and do something with what you've read is important.

I really didn't consider putting a statement of faith in the educational goals I have for Daniel (or all kids or my classroom kids), but I have been thinking of it all week! I guess I view them a little separate. Perhaps I would say to use the natural talent and curiosity that God gave him to learn more about the world and others ... if I wanted to add a God part!
