Book Review: Home Education Series:Charlotte Mason – Volume 3 – School Education – Part 1
Volume 3 deals with teaching children between 9-12 Years
I loved reading Charlotte Mason home education series because it such an encouraging resource for the homeschooling parent.
In Volume 3 Charlotte Mason Talks about:
1.Need for Inactivity on the part of the teacher and encourages parents to trust themselves more
2.The method by which the children are educated – by using living books and things(hands on activities)
3.On how to identify a living book
4.On allowing the living books to lead the child
5.On how an exam is conducted
Here are few good quotes:
Trusting the Parenting instinct:
She talks on how parents should trust themselves more and how a mother should take care of herself.
She was a wise women because she understood “if momma ain’t happy,ain’t nobody happy”
Inactivity in the part of the teacher/parent:
It is important to practice inactive for 2 reasons:
a)so we dont intrude on the childs personality and originality:
b)We give them a chance for personal initiative and to grow independent
