A Philosophy of Education (Wide-Margin Study Edition): Volume 6: Curiosity—the Pathway to Creative Learning (Charlotte Mason’s Original Home Schooling Series) - 4161

“We all stir out minds into action the better if there is an implied ‘must’ in the background; for children in class the ‘must’ acts through the certainty that they will be required to narrate or write from what they have read with no opportunity of ‘looking up,’ or other devices of the idle.” —Charlotte Mason Charlotte Mason (1842–1923) was 100 years ahead of her time in developing an educational philosophy that stressed bringing broad and stimulating education to a child in a noncompetitive, Biblically-based way. Her timeless, practical insights and her emphasis on the responsibility of the home have made her a founding influence in the homeschooling movement. A Philosophy of Education reveals how curiosity is the pathway to creative learning. Written in two books, it explains the Charlotte Mason approach and cites results in students using her approach. In it you will find solid principles and practical methods that make education simple yet effective. Discover what it means to view a child as a person; how to educate through atmosphere, discipline, and life; the roles of the Will and Reason in a child’s life; how curriculum should impart knowledge of God, of man, and of the universe; the best methods for encouraging children to grow in that knowledge. “Teachers owe much to Charlotte Mason’s deep insight into child psychology and to the new principles in character building and mind training which she advocated. The gratitude of [those] who have profited by her counsel will be her enduring memorial.”—Elizabeth R., Her Majesty the Queen Mother of England Now you can read Charlotte Mason’s original writings with confidence.
