Charlotte Mason favored a literary approach to the Charlotte Mason favored a literary approach to the teaching of science. The quantitative side, she said, was “so technical and so minute as … to be unnecessary for school work or for general knowledge.” Mason persuaded me to embrace living books for science. But at the same time I still believe that the quantitive side is relevant. In fact, in our century I think it has become necessary for school work and general knowledge. Does this mean that I compromise Mason’s method? Is using math with chemistry or physics somehow less “living”? Does it lack the “awakening touch” of knowledge? I know a young teacher who began working at a “second chance” high school. While some have thought that simplified science is best for these students, this teacher believed all students could learn physics — including the quantitative side. “You’re expecting too much from them,” cautioned one colleague. But this teacher believed in the awakening power of knowledge. In faith he taught, and in faith he received. If one were to walk by his classroom during physics hour today, she would see every single student with a pencil in hand taking notes and following along with understanding. Charlotte Mason was stunned to observe the children of a mining village awaken at the touch of knowledge. That knowledge was in the form of literary language. A century has passed but the children haven’t changed. They’re still waking up at the touch of knowledge. But sometimes that knowledge comes in the language of math. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #forthechildrenssake #charlottemason #spreadthefeast #physics #knowledge #liberaleducationforall
Books as decor. How’s December looking at your Books as decor. How’s December looking at your place? Amy Grant’s “Tender Tennessee Christmas” is currently on repeat but we’re still working away here. This sweet image is from my sister’s home, where the Christmas Cookies with Cousins party will commence next week. Our own place is quite bare as my son brought a kitten home this time last year 🌪️ and life, and our ornaments, haven’t been the same since. @rbaburina . . . . . #booksasdecor #christmasdecor #hyggehomeschool #homeschoolchristmas #christmasdecorations #charlottemasonhomeschool
The story of Charlotte Mason is shrouded in secrec The story of Charlotte Mason is shrouded in secrecy and surrounded by mystery. Memoirs were few. Letters were written and then destroyed. In 1960, Essex Cholmondeley made the first attempt at a biography. From the scraps she could find she assembled a narrative. The book is cherished by many of us today who wish to explore and celebrate a remarkable life. But it turns out Cholmondeley was not the first. In 1936, Charlotte Mason’s closest confidant prepared her own version of the story. She spent 13 years gathering up her own fragments. She was given the chance to review dozens of handwritten letters for one last glimpse before they were destroyed. This is the story that Elsie Kitching wrote. Cholmondeley consulted it for sure. But she did not quote it all. Some gems remained buried in the 1936 Parents’ Review. Until today. “That gentle but so decided voice set up ‘a little child’ in the midst of us,” described one woman who met Charlotte Mason in 1887. “And to one at least of her listeners Life opened out as a great and gracious adventure wherein the stony places and briars, the tiring climbs with aching feet, often through mists, were as nothing compared with the joys of finding hidden treasure.” We found a hidden treasure for you. The grand finale of our Elsie Kitching series. Find it at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #charlottemason #charlottemasoneducation #homeschoolpodcast
Did you know Charlotte Mason dedicated an entire i Did you know Charlotte Mason dedicated an entire issue of The Parents’ Review to the early years, the time before formal schooling should begin? She called it the “Baby Number” and published it in July 1917. It covered everything from nursery games to music, including articles on Reading and Nature in the Nursery, as well as Habits and more. You can find these articles today on our website, conveniently grouped together just as they were in the original Parents’ Review issue. Look under our Resources tab for “Baby Number.” A direct link can be found in our profile. I encourage you to check them out, and let us know in the comments which one you are most interested in reading first. Or if you’ve already read a few, is there one that sticks out in your mind as a favorite? @tessakeath
