Charlotte Mason Poetry

<p>I’ve dealt with fear my whole life as a mom. I was so excited about the process, but fear spoke to me constantly, telling me lies about my capability, my circumstances, and God’s faithfulness. Listening to fear caused a loss of joy as I believed these lies. I prolifically read parenting books in an effort …</p> The post <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org/to-overcome-fear/">To Overcome Fear</a> first appeared on <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org">Charlotte Mason Poetry</a>.

<p>Editor’s Note: Harlow College in Essex was established in 1862 and enjoyed a proud history until it was closed in 1965.[1] The years 1904–1935, however, were known as its “golden era.” Those were the years that E. Percival Horsey served as Headmaster. A student from the 1920s recalled, “It was Mr. Horsey who made the …</p> The post <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org/the-mason-method-of-teaching/">The Mason Method of Teaching</a> first appeared on <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org">Charlotte Mason Poetry</a>.

<p>Growing up in public schools I somehow caught the idea that discovery was for the professional. For the explorer or the scientist or the mathematician, but not for me.

<p>Editor’s Note, by Heidi Buschbach In the days of the PNEU, experts would come and speak about topics of interest. Their presentations would be transcribed and included in the Parents’ Review.

<p>Editor’s Note: Many a student who came to Charlotte Mason’s House of Education came because she wanted to become a professional teacher. Some, however, had a different vocation in store: some were to become full-time mothers. A notable example is Eleanor Hughes-Jones.

<p>In a Charlotte Mason education, we rely on books—not a teacher or a set of “tools” or textbooks—not only to inspire interest in the subject but also to ignite and shape our children’s imaginations; invite imitation of the True, Good, and Beautiful; and imbibe fruitful ideas that cause them to grow as persons.

<p>Editor’s Note: Lady Hankey’s “introduction to the P.N.E.U. was the discovery of Miss Mason’s book Home Education, and this happened when [her] eldest son was about 2½ years old.”[1] She soon discovered that “Miss Mason’s ideal is that education is a very wide term.

<p>We all know the story. A young, impressionable Miss Mason travels to Florence. With guidebook in hand, she beholds a glorious fresco, the embodiment of a medieval philosophy of education.

<p>Editor’s Note: When Charlotte Mason famously wrote in Home Education that “Mothers owe ‘a thinking love’ to their Children,”[1] she was quoting Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi.

<p>Editor’s Note: Mary Alice Douglas (1860–1941) was the daughter of a rector and was “educated at home by a governess in [a] tight-knit, deeply religious family.”[1] In 1890, Douglas was appointed headmistress of Godolphin School in Salisbury. When she assumed the role, there were only 22 students at the school.

<p>In 1984, Susan Schaeffer Macaulay published her groundbreaking book For the Children’s Sake. For many of us, it was our first introduction to the Charlotte Mason method.

<p>During most of the past six years I have volunteered helping with the pre-school and elementary aged children at our church.

<p>Editor’s Note by Richele Baburina Without the influence of Emeline Steinthal, the Parents’ National Education Union might never have come to be.

<p>“When Miss Mason was alive, for example, children were instinctively more obedient and respectful than they are today.”[1] As I have studied Charlotte Mason’s volumes with dozens of men and women over the past six years as part of the Idyll Challenge, I have noticed an occasional but recurring theme.

<p>Editor’s Note. The first article I ever read by House of Education graduate Eleanor Frost is her 1913 “Bible Teaching in The Parents’ Union School.” Presented at the 17th annual PNEU Conference, it has been one of my main “go to” references for Bible lessons, and I have read it more times than I can …</p> The post <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org/the-teaching-of-citizenship/">The Teaching of Citizenship</a> first appeared on <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org">Charlotte Mason Poetry</a>.

<p>What was Charlotte Mason’s source for her philosophy of education? It is a question that I have discussed and debated at length over the past several years.

<p>Editor’s Note: The PNEU motto was “Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life.”[1] This motto encapsulated what Charlotte Mason saw as the only three valid instruments of education: “the atmosphere of environment, the discipline of habit, and the presentation of living ideas.”[2] But did these three instruments function like the three legs of …</p> The post <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org/education-is-a-discipline/">Education is a Discipline</a> first appeared on <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org">Charlotte Mason Poetry</a>.

<p>Editor’s Note: One of the most common questions we hear is how to handle a homeschool situation where there are multiple children in multiple forms.

<p>The first principle of Charlotte Mason’s twenty-point synopsis reads simply, “Children are born persons.” Comprised of only four words, it’s the shortest principle in the synopsis.

<p>Editor’s Note, by Art Middlekauff “Children are born persons” is a phrase that is inseparably associated with Charlotte Mason. It may be surprising, however, to learn that the phrase does not appear in Mason’s printed works until the publication of the Synopsis in 1904 — a full 18 years after the publication of Home Education. …</p> The post <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org/children-are-born-persons-audio/">Children Are Born Persons</a> first appeared on <a href="https://charlottemasonpoetry.org">Charlotte Mason Poetry</a>.

<p>Charlotte Mason developed a program and method for Bible lessons for children from ages 6 to 18 that is breathtaking in its simplicity, elegance, and efficacy.

<p>When speaking of Bible lessons, Charlotte Mason writes, “Now our objective in this most important part of education is to give the children the knowledge of God.”[1] After years of careful research, I have concluded that Mason did not approach this “most important part of education” in a haphazard fashion.
