“Research shows that novices and experts organiz “Research shows that novices and experts organize knowledge very differently,” explain Jeff Froyd and Jean Layne. “Experts may make huge leaps up an educational ladder of inference and often forget how to explain the reasoning process through which they arrived at their complex, deep understandings. Shortcuts become invisible. In an educational setting, this phenomenon is called ‘curse of knowledge.’” How can knowledge be a curse? Surely the more we know (about math, science, Latin…) the better we teach. Isn’t knowing more than our students (our children) a blessing? Yes and no. The curse comes in when our shortcuts of understanding become invisible, even to us. We can no longer explain the reasoning process. Worse, we become impatient and frustrated when our children don’t “see” what seems so obvious to us. One solution is to somehow break down what is obvious to us into smaller pieces that may somehow become obvious to our children. But professor Eric Mazur hints at another solution. “The person who knows best what a student is struggling with in assimilating new concepts is not the professor, it’s another student,” he explains in his celebrated “Confessions of a Converted Lecturer.” Do you feel like you’re only one step ahead of your child (in math, science, Latin…)? Do you feel like your lack of knowledge is a curse? Actually it’s a blessing. It can enable you to teach your child in the most sympathetic way — as a fellow learner. Plus it’s kind of fun. When it’s late at night and everyone else has gone to bed, I like to crack open the math book. I have a good reason to — I’m learning *with* my son. But it’s not worry that’s keeping me awake. It’s the fine and health-giving air of that mountainous land called math. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #philosopherguideandfriend #learningtogether #livingeducation #mountainousland #homeschooldad #thisishowwehomeschool #homeed #charlottemason #lovetolearn #philosophyofeducation #livingideas #charlottemasonliving #living_homeschool #childrenarebornpersons #greatrecognition #learningtogether #livingmath #charlottemasonmath

What would Rosalind (of As You Like It) say if she What would Rosalind (of As You Like It) say if she could tell us what she thought of Shakespeare? When is someone walking into a bookstore as pure an idealist as a saint? Why is the love of Romeo and Juliet eternal? Why is the desire to read despotic in its demands? Is criticism always analytical or can it ever be creative? How do you know if the chicken is fresh? It takes an unusual mind to think of such eccentric questions, let alone to answer (some of them) and to weave them together in a meaningful way. But such is the mind of Felix Hope, whose two-part series on readers and critics fascinated the subscribers of The Parents’ Review in 1924. Now it can surprise you too, with a chuckle, a challenge, and an inspiration almost guaranteed. And as a special bonus, it has the only reference to σχολή — scholé — I’ve ever seen in the Parents’ Review. Read or listen at the profile link! @artmiddlekauff
“In this matter of instruction in the things of “In this matter of instruction in the things of Nature, we owe yet more to ourselves: for, ‘Nature never did betray the heart that loved her’;— and, in return for our discriminating and loving observation, she gives us the joy of a beautiful and delightful intimacy, a thrill of pleasure in the greeting of every old friend in field or hedgerow or starry sky, of delightful excitement in making a new acquaintance.” (Vol. 4 Book II pg. 98) @tessakeath
