Charlotte Mason, a renowned British educator, developed an educational philosophy centered on "living ideas" rather than utilitarian necessity. She famously described education as "an atmosphere, a discipline, a life" and a "science of relations." Her distinctive approach, emphasizing the richness of knowledge and the inherent capabilities of children, continues to inspire educators globally, particularly within the homeschooling movement.
Originally published in 1905, this book argues that the educational outlook was rather misty and depressing both at home and abroad. But we have no unifying principle, no definte aim; in fact, no philosophy of education.
Charlotte Mason's classic Home Education provides parents and teachers with a practical resource for schooling young children at home (specifically children under nine) while also meeting their critical developmental needs.
