Scholar Phase and Class time: Validation from TJEd for Teens

Objective of scholar phase and importance of learning tools:
"The purpose of Scholar Phase isn't to complete your learning, but to so immerse yourself in the habits of great learning that you keep using them to solve problems, improve yourself and your conditions in life, and to help others do the same for the rest of your life.  That's Scholar Phase." (pg 80)

Developing the habits of great learning is difficult.  It is important to remind them of the tools that can help them in scholar phase: the 4-R's, sharing, accountability, mentoring, etc.  These are an essential part of Vanguard!  Sometimes it is the process that teaches almost more than what is actually being discussed, especially as the youth are younger.  When they are older, they are able to actually use the tools to better educate themselves and share what they are learning.

How wonderful to be discussing truths and things of lasting importance as they are learning, so they are able to get both at the same time, unlike "exercise books" that have meaningless examples for which them to practice the tools they are learning.

Purpose of Class time: Inspiration!
"The purpose of class time in great education is not study, but rather 1)inspiration, 2)answering questions, and 3)more inspiration." (pg 82)

Vanguard is such an ideal set-up for letting the youth use the scholarship they are learning in their private studies while at home to inspire their peers and be inspired back :)!
