Key #5 - Quality, Not Conformity

We will not be applying this key in our home at this time as it is designed for the older student. Oliver Demille describes the key in this way:

When Scholars do an assignment, either say “great work” or “do it again.” You can help them, but have them do most of the work and never accept a low quality submission or performance. Wythe was very demanding this way with Jefferson. Note that we’re talking here about more mature students, usually at least 12 and older, not of toddlers or children (A Thomas Jefferson Education, pg 44-45).
