For the Children's Sake

As a child I was first introduced to the teachings of Charlotte Mason's from my grandmother who had been home educated with Charlotte's philosophy of education Upon entering the 21st century my husband and I decided we wanted to educate our child using Charlotte's method but needed guidance in the process Through a friend I discovered Susan Schaeffer Macaulay's book "For the Children's Sake" In her book Susan uses a conversational tone to tell you her own story of how she came to be introduced to Charlotte Mason and her teachings The author then takes you on a journey of Charlotte's education philosophy beginning with What is education? Children Are Born Persons Authority and Freedom A New Perspective Education: A Science of Relationships and finishing with The Way of the Will Reason and Unity of the Whole I would highly recommend Karen Andreola's book "A Pocketful of Pinecones" as a followup before beginning Charlotte Mason's "Original Homeschool Series"
