One question I didn’t get to last week was in what ways have I adjusted #amblesideonline — substitutions, that sort of thing. I haven’t kept a running list. I just write about things as they come up.

I haven’t done much adjusting for most of my children, but for my child with learning issues, I’ve done quite a bit of finagling.

This is her last economics book for year 11. I thought she’d understand some of what we’ve read about in previous terms better via a historical application. (It doesn’t hurt that I’ve been a long-time fan of this book. 🤣)

She’s about halfway through. So far, so good. 🤷‍♀️

We found a tick on the dog yesterday. It took three of us to hold him down while my husband used the tweezers to remove it (head and all, yes). We followed up with hydrogen peroxide on the wound and this: Ledum Palustre 200c. This is a Lyme disease remedy and I’m just putting a pellet into his water bowls each time I refill one of them (he has one inside and one outside).

Learning the basic remedies will not only help you care for your family, it also almost totally eliminates vet bills.

The latest! It's been quite a while since Mystie and I did a show alone — felt like the old days! Hopefully you still find it bearable even though Abby isn't there to make us behave. 🤣

My paraphrase for dramatic effect. 🤣The actual

My paraphrase for dramatic effect. 🤣The actual quote is this: "We entirely agree that no one can escape the influence of this Zeitgeist, and that the Zeitgeist is, in fact, one of the most powerful of the occult educational influences, and one which parents and all who have the training of children will do well to reckon with in the adjustment of their work." (School Education, p. 94)

What is "the Zeitgeist"? It's the Spirit of the Age — the dominant ideas of our time.

We could debate about what that idea or set of ideas would be, but the important thought here is that THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

You cannot homeschool yourself into a Hobbit hole of protection. There is no place you can go where it will not find you. I don't say this to frighten, but I do think it's worth considering.

One thing I really appreciate about #charlottemason is the example she set. She read many old and wonderful books, and also (of course!) her Bible and Prayer Book. But she didn't stop there. She didn't just know what she was about; she knew what was about her.

She read the newspaper and she read the current philosophers and science. She always had a ready, measured response. That's why she can spend whole chapters walking you through Herbart's pedagogy and tell you exactly where he's right ... and then point out exactly where he's wrong. That's why she can tell you how the labor unrest, riots, and protests of her day were connected to poor education.

Walking a Charlotte Mason philosophy in your home isn't all sunshine, roses, literature, and nature study (though it is IS that). And #motherculture isn't just novel reading. (Read the PR Article on Mother Culture and you'll find it had zero to do with handwork and everything to do with maturing as a reader and thinker so that you grew up and became a fit counselor for your adult children.)

The same woman who told you to read and think good and beautiful things also told you no one escapes. Does this change how you think about what you do with your time? Does it change how you think about your mothering? About education?

It should.
