Brigham Young stated: “We might ask, when shall we cease to learn? I will give you my opinion about it; never, never” ( JD 3:203). He also taught: “Our education should be such as to improve our minds and fit us for increased usefulness; to make us of greater service to the human family” ( JD 14:83).

The Aims of a BYU Education states:

Classes should be tailored to the needs of the student - we recommend using the first session that you have with your pupil/their parents to discuss the specific needs of the student so you can prepare accordingly.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef]Learning by heart is a rich phrase. Think about the word heart. We all know that our hearts are central to life. Physically the heart is the life-sustaining organ of our bodies. Likewise, heart is used to describe the essential, most vital part of our spiritual being—one’s innermost character, feelings, or inclinations. In a gospel sense the heart is our spiritual core. Hence the scriptures teach that “as [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7; emphasis added) and that “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21; emphasis added). The gospel must be “written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” (2 Corinthians 3:3; emphasis added). Over and over in the scriptures prophets remind us, as Alma told his son, to “let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever” (Alma 37:36; emphasis added). Learning by heart in its richest sense is a gospel duty. It is a twin commandment to remembering. We are to learn spiritual truth by heart and then retain in remembrance what we have placed deep in our hearts. The Ancient Greeks felt that learning poetry improved the mind, and Athenian schoolboys learned Homer. By the 1940s learning by rote was no longer fashionable, but it’s now being reconsidered, and not just for schoolchildren. Like Housman, then, Frost favoured traditional verse forms but also a plain-spoken yet lyrical style. And although many people know the words in the final stanza of this poem, a good many people misinterpret them – and how well does anyone know the rest of ‘The Road Not Taken’? Why not commit this classic poem about opting for the road ‘less travelled’ to memory…

But there seem to be wellbeing benefits, too, from the nature of poetry and the way it opens new spaces for children to explore their lives.Takahashi, E.; Ohki, K.; Miyashita, Y.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Learning by Heart provides new ideas, inspirations from different cultures (especially Japan, India, and Bali), and sometimes practical step-by-step guidance in technique. If you're interested in collage or print-making, the book will be especially enjoyable and useful. If you're not interested in these, you will be after you finish this read. Learn how to challenge fears, be open to new directions, recognize connections between objects and ideas, and much more in this remarkable, indispensable guide to freeing the creative spirit within all of us. John’s 84-year-old mother is one such example. She is currently serving a temple mission—her sixth mission. It is always fun to talk to her because there is such excitement in her voice about each new discovery—be it about our church or a country’s history or the local culture. She has taught herself to speak several languages to be more useful in her temple service. Over the years she has been a great source of suggested reading ideas for my book group because she is continually learning from interesting books. She is the mother of 13 children who follow her example in hungering for knowledge. She is someone who has taken learning to heart.
