CHARLOTTE MASON FOR BEGINNERS// CHARLOTTE MASON HOMESCHOOL

CHARLOTTE MASON FOR BEGINNERS// CHARLOTTE MASON HOMESCHOOL// Education in American schools has failed our children, families, communities and our nation. The hopes of leaving “no child” behind has left all children bored and listless. We find that instead of cultivating our nation’s children to reach their full potential, our schools are stamping out generations who can’t think for themselves and wait to be told what to do by experts and social media influencers who are no more enlightened than they.
In this video, I am sharing the ideas from an educator who lived a little over 100 years ago: Charlotte Mason. She applied classic principles for educating children that can be applied to every generation. Her commonsense approach should not be ignored in our tech-savvy world. In fact, we need to move back to the fundamentals of what it is to be human, what we believe a true education embodies and to raise the standard for ourselves and our children so that we will flourish.

[@joycherrick]

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@rachelbrzoznowski6685]

I have used so many types of homeschooling through out my childrens' lives. We change things up often. I hate seeing my kids looking bored and distracted.

[@Jfelix531]

I wish I could give you a standing ovation

[@dorisdeal8729]

Amen! 🤍🕊🙌🏼

[@michaelholbein3868]

Sorry, just finding out you are way ahead of me in this issue. Wow! I am very excited to see this method has begun to grow. I am very interested in starting up a small CM learning pod in our area.

[@joycherrick]

I'm so glad you've discovered the life-giving ideas of Charlotte Mason! There is much to learn and a lifetime to do it in! Have you read For the Children's Sake yet? It's a marvelous place to begin!

[@michaelholbein3868]

May I suggest you start a channel and begin interviewing other like-minded individuals in various stages of development: administration, business, social development, physical skills etc. I know of no other such channel I might refer our friends to who are at the early/beginning stage in their lives...parents who have children five and under.

[@cirolopez6435]

I needed this. Is there a curriculum you use specifically?

[@joycherrick]

I use AmblesideOnline as my spine but I also pull from Beautiful Feet Books for modern history ideas

[@Dreblueskies]

I have tried reading CM’s original writings and they are so incredibly boring to me. Do you ever wonder if following just one person’s idea may lead to blind spots? Just curious because many other styles seems to have many people contributing but CM is just one person. Not asking to argue just genuinely curious. 🙂

[@joycherrick]

I do enjoy reading many educators' books and ideas and find that it's important to incorporate modern perspectives to help round out the CM readings. But, CM herself was a widely read individual, she draws from a great many sources, ideas and is rooted in a Biblical Worldview. What's wonderful about someone like Charlotte Mason as well as authors such as Elisabeth Elliot and Laura Ingalls Wilder is that they touch on Universal Truth that withstands the test of time. CM certainly has many archaic references in her writings, but I see her more as a you would a monastic - spending a lifetime to study and think about the education of children. And, since she didn't have any children of her own, she provides a marvelous perspective that is both valuable and encouraging. She is a missionary placed in the field of education. I think it is unwise to only read her writings - because there are many helpful and practical books to help a modern lifestyle, but if a person did only read CM, and studied it thoroughly, they would still be miles ahead of any person educated in public schools - college included. Hope that helps encourage you!

[@Dreblueskies]

@@joycherrick Thank you for such a thoughtful response. I decided to start reading the Ambleside online versions with a bit updated language I think that will really help me understand. Thank you make some really good points. Could you please share with me what books you recommend to learn more? Thank you!

[@joycherrick]

@@Dreblueskies Yeah, my first go through one of her books took about one year. I just read a little here and there and would chew on the ideas since they are deep and dense at times. As for modern educators - If you haven't read John Taylor Gatto, he overlaps beautifully with CM - his book "A Different Kind of Teacher" is a nice blend - though he most likely had never heard of her - he still stumbled upon many of the same universal truths that she discovered and implemented. That's the thing about CM - what she presents are universal truths about being human with a biblical worldview. That is why her books stand the test of time - not that she was so remarkable, but that she was bringing to light truths that had been buried and long forgotten - like "children are born persons." Another good modern book is "How Children Learn" by unschooler, John Holt. Again - these ideas OVERLAP with CM. Now he takes some ideas (IMO) too far - but with a classical educators mindset, he can provide much needed freedom and grace to the up-tight mama. Another book that is worthy is more of a biography of a modern educator - Marva Collins was a black educator bringing Shakespeare and Plutarch to inner city - under served children. She was able to inspire and put courage into her students that they might know that they are more than what their community says and that they can rise above the circumstances they found themselves. Her book "Marva Collins Way" (also a movie) is about her work from the 1970s-1990s in the inner city Chicago running a private classical school - and it sounds very much like a Charlotte Mason school - though I doubt Mrs. Collins had read CM. Another book about education that is beautiful is "Beauty in the word" by Stratford Caldecott. He's a catholic, but he casts a vision for the modern Christian educator that is both approachable and helpful. Finally, I recommend "Family Driven Faith" by Voddie Baucham. He is a pastor and now professor in Africa. His book discusses the discipleship piece of education. He also classically educated(s) his 9 children. The principles he lays out are universal and point us to leading our children to their Creator. This is what our education should do if nothing else - bring us to God that we might serve Him well all our days. I'd love to hear how things go as you read through your first CM book! Enjoy the labor!
