Just wanted to say that although it took me nearly a year of reading in bits and pieces, I did finally finish CM’s Home Education (Vol.1.) If you haven’t read these yet, may I commend them to you? Although there are many wonderful summary materials out there, none of them are quite the same as reading her thoughts as she presented them. I posted some of my thoughts on my blog this morning, and hope to do a series of sorts as time allows (that’s always the catch, though, isn’t it?!) http://snowfallacademy.blogspot.fr/2012/06/charlotte-masons-home-education-volume.html?spref=fb
Just thought I’d share. =) Think I’m going to read Vol. 6 next….
Congratulations! I’ve been reading through her series too and find that I appreciate her ideas more and more the more I know of them. Some of the material in the middle volumes is not so directly related to homeschooling but I still find it very interesting. She has a lot to say on human nature. I wasn’t blogging on it when I started my reading but I am trying to go back and blog on the parts of each volume that struck me most.
Thanks Nebby! I clicked through and had a look at your blog too…look forward to your series on various educational philosophies. I love reading and thinking about that stuff. =)
