Ohio12 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I am writing a blog post this week, telling what we did in HS this year. mostly only family reads my blog, but the in-laws and my parents don't know much about what we do. i mostly follow WTM with lots of living books and CM. Can anyone help me write just one sentence describing what a classical education is? and another one describing Charlotte Mason? i could do it in a paragraph, but I think I will lose them..plus I am brain dead right now from hosting Fathers Day!

Guest mrsjamiesouth Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Charlotte Mason believed children learn best when given abundant, high-quality books; time in the outdoors; and are taught gently using methods such as narration, short lessons, and “masterly inactivity.†I found this description of LBC.
