Summary

Charlotte Mason looked at the world and saw that it was governed by universal laws, such as the law of gravity. Then she wondered. What if there were similar laws that governed the way people learn? If we knew what those laws were, we’d be able to pursue education along the most promising lines.

She devoted her life to finding the key principles of education and then developing methods to make the most of them. The result is a comprehensive picture of living and learning that breathes life into education at every level - from babyhood to the adult years. It’s not a rote system, but a flexible set of ideas that keep education in focus.

These principles are for everyone concerned with teaching and learning. They are no more difficult to implement than the principle of gravity which allows you to walk, run, and even - when you know what you are doing - to soar.

I’ve read a fair few books on the Charlotte Mason philosophy to date and whilst I appreciate that Miss Mason herself was a Christian, not all who follow the philosophy are and I wish that authors on the topic would be more inclusive of this demographic. The author is constantly referencing the Bible, speaking of believers and non believers, salvation, etc. I have a background in the Christian faith and even I got fed up. If you are a “secular” home educator or just someone who doesn’t prescribe to faith I would instead recommend Modern Miss Mason by Leah Boden who so far is the only author I have found who is inclusive of an audience of people from all or no faith.

Too Christian and preachy for my liking
