Consider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition
by Karen Glass
I gave it five stars because while her views on learning Latin made my heart sink and feel terrible that I don't have the truly classical reasons for studying Latin in our home, she did give me insight into other CM points that I had not understood before mainly the functions of the will and of reason. And for that I am very grateful and will be thinking about for the rest of my life.
I'm still not sure what falls into analytical thinking as it applies to literature, but I do know that reading good literature together in our home remains at the top in my priorities and taking time to have grand conversations about what we read is a must. I cannot say we have read these books if we have not had some good and real conversations about them that goes beyond narration.
I think that no matter where you are on your educating journey, this book should likely be read. It will help clear up misconceptions about the purpose of education, accomplishing character development in our children (and us), and what other people are promoting as classical education.
Those are my initial thoughts after only reading it once and lightly re-reading a few select parts. I plan to reread most of the book again and likely order another copy to loan out.
