Home Education: Volume I of Charlotte Mason's Original Homeschooling Series Kindle Edition

Very disappointed, i knew for the price it was too good to be true. On every page the words are cut off, so there is not a complete sentence that can be read. I will be returning this asap.Don't waste your time or money. Its a bad copying job.

I am glad I.finally completed this book. I don't agree with all her methods. I am a decided eclectic homeschool mom. I think we should read these older books and clean what wisdom is useful.

perfect

Although the older language & style takes some getting used to, the concepts in this book are both timeless & priceless. Would highly recommend to any parent - home schooling or not.

As a homeschool graduate, and author of  Homeschooling: The Bigger Picture (your conversation with a homeschool graduate)  I know a thing or two about homeschooling. I also know that while things have changed a lot from the times of Charlotte Mason, the way that children learn naturally and are provided with the best "education" is not something that changes over time. This book is an excellent resource and I would highly recommend it.Personally I loved the chapter on foreign language as I studied Latin in high school. The works of Charlotte Mason are truly remarkable and a much needed education in itself.

so gifted, what an instructor! she has such a heart for children and incredible insight into what they need. education should be exciting, and she helps you "lay the feast" so children love learning. i'm so happy to be able to get a hold of these books. i can't understand why educators today aren't using her methods. she really helped me to understand where my kids are developmentally so i'm no longer frustrated with them not "behaving" and not paying attention.

I think that if you are considering home school this book is well worth the read. Or if your an educator this book had a lot of very good ideas.

This was a very informative book on homeschooling and traditional ideals were presented.I found it helpful and was interesting reading.

This is pretty much just Charlotte Masons unedited original text. It needs bearing in mind the age she lived in - for example she always refers to 'the mother' not the parent, and also we get passages in the style of 'if your children spend too long talking to servants' :) So a little selective editing is needed for the modern day. Also Christianity was a big part of her life, and much of her teaching is based around this - I've seen reviewers of other books about her style complain that they wanted something secular, but Charlotte Mason is not a secular educator. That said, the book is interesting and thought provoking and has much to offer the modern home educator in terms of inspiration. It's still very much worth a read.

Sadly disappointed in the quality of the printing. The book itself is such a great book. Charlotte Mason is amazing to read but the print is hard to read and the layout is more like a textbook with the lines being off so parts are almost illegible. It’s worth spending the money on a better printed version.
