On Education: Charlotte Mason

Charlotte Mason· Homeschool

28 Jun

Where do I even begin? For the better part of twelve years I have been writing (and reading and podcasting and speaking) about Charlotte Mason. I’d like to think I’ve hit that 10,000 hours expert level of knowledge about her but truth be told there is still much to learn. I’m being totally serious when I say Charlotte is in my top five people who I want to meet in heaven. I intend to have many a tea time with her discussing great books.

It seems the more you know about something the harder it is to condense that information into something tangible and simple. Something about not seeing the forest for the trees comes to mind and her philosophies have become so beautifully interwoven with our life that it’s hard to separate it out when someone asks about how we homeschool.

What is the Charlotte Mason method? Is it narration? Picture study? Music? Going outside? Good books? Yes, but…. 

Who was Charlotte Mason? A British educator who revolutionized the system in her time but has been all but lost to history and looked over by modern “progressive” educators? Yes, but…. 

Her legacy, or rather, the legacy of her educational philosophy, is so much more.

Her philosophy of education was so influential that it transcended the realms of the Victorian classroom and has been entrusted to homeschoolers and small private schools today. It traveled across the pond from lovely Ambleside in the Lake District to my beloved United States and all the way into my home in north Alabama.

    Managing my betting accounts used to feel like a chore, but this banking gateway makes everything so seamless. I love how fast the deposits go through and how secure my transactions feel every time. It really takes the guesswork out of my gaming routine. bd12bank

    The app is lightweight and doesn’t lag even on my old phone. Really impressed with pkwinpkrapk and their customer support.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
