The thing is no seemed interested at all in conversing. You post an article, I point out a specific thing the article said that was not correct.
No one was open to dialogue.
It was said that Leigh Bortin sees children as machines. Someone explained what she meant. Again, no one is open to saying, “Oh, that’s interesting. It’s good to know what was meant because it sounded really icky.”
What has come across to me is that this is a board where its ok to say non-truths about other approaches and anyone who points out it’s not true will be attacked.
Someone says, “What you said makes me not welcome here” and people say, “I hope you all feel welcome to keep saying those things (that made other CM moms not feel welcome here)” how is that supposed to sound?
I’ve learned a lot here but this is pretty much it for me.
Good morning, ladies. I’m sorry I haven’t chimed in lately; I’ve been on the road.
It seems that somewhere along the line this conversation has taken a turn that has veered away from encouraging and kind discussion. I’d like to see the spirit of loving conversation get back on track.
Charlotte told her teachers: “State your theory and practice, but attack nothing. Be indignant at nothing. When people’s minds are put on the defensive they have no room to receive new ideas” (The Story of Charlotte Mason, p. 106).
My desire for this forum is that it will be a place where we can do just that — a place where we seek to truly understand what the others are trying to communicate (not always an easy task in writing); a place where we can state our theory and practice as we seek to follow Charlotte’s philosophy and methods; a place where we are careful not to attack anyone; and a place where we are just as careful not to become indignant when someone disagrees with us.
I’m closing this thread to further comments for now.
