Charlotte Mason's Original Homeschooling Series Volume 1 - Home Education by Charlotte M. Mason
kristamiller's review against another edition
Hard to read, outdated opinions on children and parenting, an air of finality and elitism. I love her method, but will learn it in other places

Charlotte Mason is one of the most popular philosophies in the home schooling community and many of the people I follow and curriculums I’ve chosen have been based upon her work. So I decided to read her philosophy myself.
She wrote many volumes this is just her first. Written at the time of the 1900s it is surprising how modern it reads.
She believes in a total immersion of education. Learning in a more organic way. It was not written nor should it be considered a homeschooling approach. Yet the traditional school system moves farther from her philosophy and homeschoolers have grabbed hold of it.
I found it fantastic with lots of great advice on how to teach in a more natural way while also having structured lessons. Very good for homeschoolers and not alike.

Charlotte Mason has become the basis for our homeschool and this is a timeless edition of her first volume.

I finally finished!!! Our assignments were only a few chapters a month, but it was hard to stay motivated to read it. I slogged through the words not understanding much until she got to specifics. I zoomed through that portion and then it was a lot of re-reading the same thing over and over. Good things in there, but it seemed a hunt and peck.
