“Eyes and No-Eyes.—Do you know how Eyes and No “Eyes and No-Eyes.—Do you know how Eyes and No-Eyes went out for a walk? No-Eyes found it dull, and said there was nothing to see; but Eyes saw a hundred interesting things, and brought home his handkerchief full of treasures. The people I know are all either ‘Eyes’ or ‘No-Eyes.’ Do you wish to know which class you fall into? Let me ask you two or three questions. If you can answer them we shall call you, Eyes. If you cannot, why, learn to answer these and a thousand questions like them. Describe, from memory, one picture in your mother’s drawing-room without leaving out a detail. Name a tree (not shrub) which has green leaf-buds? Do you know any birds with white feathers in their tails? If you do not know things such as these, set to work. The world is a great treasure-house full of things to be seen, and each new thing one sees is a new delight.” (Vol IV, Book I, p 29) @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #eyesandnoeyes #theflowersarenew #thechildrenarentnew #manitobamaple #floweringmaple #boxelder #boxeldermaple #acernegundo #signsofspring #Godinnature #1000hoursoutside #exploringnaturewithchildren #charlottemasonliving #charlottemason #charlottemasoneducation #vitaminN #naturewalks #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodunplugged #forthechildrenssake
In 1782 Pierre-Simon Laplace published a paper des In 1782 Pierre-Simon Laplace published a paper describing an integral that can be used to transform one function into another. His focus was on probability theory, but his transform was picked up in 1893 by Oliver Heaviside who saw that it could be used to solve differential equations encountered in electrical engineering. Thanks to Heaviside, the Laplace transform is part of the standard curriculum for modern engineers. I got caught up in this story when my eldest son was taking his last pure math class in college. I was following along with him so I could answer his questions and support his learning. It was hard for me to grasp but something intrigued me about it. An 11-year-old was around and overheard the many and incidental conversations around the house about the Laplace transform. This 11-year-old was my youngest son, and he wanted to know what it was all about. But I explained to him that math is sequential. I said that there were many, many things he had to learn first. But that someday, if he worked very hard, I might be able to share with him what I know about the Laplace transform — if he hadn’t graduated from homeschool by then. Lesson after lesson, hour after hour, week after week, this boy worked. Years passed and he became a teenager and then a young man. He never tired, he never grew weary, because math was his favorite subject. His interest never lagged. Finally, he completed every prerequisite. He reached his goal and calculated his first Laplace transform last week. Not with a sketchy understanding but with a firm grasp based on a solid foundation. Some experts out there issue stern warnings about Charlotte Mason. They say she was an idealist and that her ideas will not work in the real world. It will only lead parents to frustration. Love of knowledge is not enough motivation for a child to learn, they say. Some other motivation must be called into play. Rewards. Marks. Prizes. That’s the way things work. Charlotte Mason, they say, is just telling a fairy tale. In one sense they are right. Charlotte Mason did tell me a fairy tale. I believed it. And it came true. @artmiddlekauff
Charlotte Mason tells us it’s impossible to meas Charlotte Mason tells us it’s impossible to measure the positive effect that really looking at even a single great picture can have upon a child, or the impact on his sense of beauty, and his power of seeing when an artist reveals the wonder of the common sights of life to him through a painting. Opening our eyes to the wonder that surrounds us—the wonder of the everyday, that power belongs to the artist. Growing up in the rolling hills of Northeast Iowa, our farmhouse was surrounded by hayfields. While we liked to play in the fields, farming was a way to make a living, detassling corn and baling hay were popular summer jobs. And a great many of us dreamt of escape from this rural landscape. It was when looking at an image from Claude Monet’s “Haystacks” series that I really saw the beauty of our rural home & land for the first time. @rbaburina Image @aolander . . . . . . . . . #picturestudy #artappreciation #claudemonet #haystacks #midwestgirl #charlottemasonpicturestudy #hyggehomeschool #charlottemasonpoetry #simplycharlottemason
