In 2020, I enjoyed the opportunity to speak to the In 2020, I enjoyed the opportunity to speak to the teen conference at a Charlotte Mason retreat. My topic was “Vocation,” and I could think of no better text for the discussion than Mason’s remarkable closing chapter of Ourselves Book I. The chapter, which continually resonates with Idyll Challenge readers, proclaims that “the worth of any calling depends upon its being of use.”

And yet in School Education, Mason says that “we do not talk about … educating [the child] with a view to his social standing or his future calling.” How do we prepare a child for his calling if we don’t educate him with that calling in view?

In 1928, a graduate of the House of Education named Vera Pim shed light on this apparent paradox of the Charlotte Mason method. “We are not idealists without practical and common sense,” she insisted. Rather, “we are intensely practical as well as idealistic.” She realized that we need to prepare children for a livelihood, as well as for a life.

Today we offer our second vintage article in our series on the Charlotte Mason method in the upper years. Read or listen as Miss Pim touches on Form V students, the Cambridge School Certificate Examination, a wide curriculum, and how all these topics relate to preparing children for life. We believe that parents of teenagers (and future teenagers) will find her words thought-provoking and encouraging. Find it at the profile link.

How do we keep our hearts faithful to the Lord, an How do we keep our hearts faithful to the Lord, and encourage our children to do the same?

If we think believers are “silly sheep,” then perhaps our best bet is to “fence them in,” to keep our children (and ourselves) in a safe, enclosed space which we hope will keep the robber out.

But what if sheep can be sensitive instead of silly? What if they can learn to know the voice of the shepherd that is “music in their ear”? And what if they can learn to shun the voice of a stranger?

Today we begin a series of poems by Charlotte Mason on Jesus the Good Shepherd. Listen or read to the beautiful poem by Miss Mason about sheep who delight in the music of their Lord. Link in profile.

How sweet is that?

For years and years, our daughter has been fascina For years and years, our daughter has been fascinated by glass blowing. Who can blame her? Taking raw materials and heating them up and turning them into something beautiful! How amazing is that?

I have been looking for classes nearby (there are none) or even near where my family lives (none there either) for a few years. And then, on vacation this summer, I found a 20-minute one-on-one class for her to take.

We gifted her the class as a surprise. Was she ever pleased!

The instructor was really great, guiding her through the all the steps, allowing her to do much of the work herself. She chose to do a pumpkin. She chose her colours. He showed her how to pick up the accent colour glass bits. He had a fancy ribbed mold to make the pumpkin shape.

I think her favourite part was the actual blowing. The only bit the instructor did himself was to add the peduncle quickly at the end.

Swipe through to see a few photos of the process.

It really is lovely and was such fun for her to do (and for us to watch)!

Has anyone in your family ever tried glass blowing?
