Sometimes, having all big kids means you can do book club prep on the patio in the morning while they’re doing independent lessons. 🙌🙌

"People are naturally divided into those who read

"People are naturally divided into those who read and think and those who do not read or think; and the business of schools is to see that all their scholars shall belong to the former class..." -- Charlotte Mason (Philosophy of Education, p. 31)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There is such a tendency today to rush to video when a child is struggling. Video makes the medicine go down, apparently. Child hates science? Don't worry about it; just use this clever video and everything will work out fine. Child hates history? Not to worry; this video curriculum makes history entertaining — he won't even know he's learning it.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm not saying one cannot learn something from a video, but I am increasingly convinced that persons do not become reading and thinking persons by refusing to read and having a person on a screen think for them.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
A #charlottemasoneducation is a beautiful thing from start to finish. Now that I've graduated one, I can say that with conviction. When we dropped our eldest off at @newcollegefranklin we were handing him over to the company of those who read and think and I firmly believe I have #charlottemason and @amblesideonline to thank for that.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As I was saying: it's a beautiful thing. But that doesn't mean it's never a struggle. That doesn't mean there aren't days when children hate history or science and want to throw their books out the window. Learning to be a fully literate person isn't always EASY.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But they will never get there by avoiding all the challenging things that build the muscles and get them there. ANYONE can join the ranks of those who can watch a video. That's a really low goal. But to join the ranks of those who read and think? That's a lifelong blessing worth the momentary sacrifice of hard work. Because secret: it's often *enjoyable* hard work. (The two aren't mutually exclusive.)⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Don't be too enchanted by the easy road. It makes promises it can't keep.⁠⠀

Today on the blog, I've got a post up about teaching our children self-defense. We often think about this in terms of physical safety (and that's important, of course). But what about their purity? In this post, I share what I consider to be the most important counsel we can give them.⁠⠀

Farmer O. is 12.

Still letting that sink in.

He requested a drone cake.

My dad owns an agricultural droning company and Farmer O. is his faithful sidekick. He could run the logistics himself if needed (his salesmanship could use work 😉). We didn’t choose to #homeschool so he could go droning at odd hours, but I think it’s a definite bonus.

Here’s to 12. 🎉

"I don’t know about you, but I am not a grand co

I have said this in #charlottemasonbootcamp a zill

I have said this in #charlottemasonbootcamp a zillion times over the years: Someone else's well-researched list of directions for how you can perfectly homeschool your child is all good and well until something goes wrong. WHEN (not if!) something goes wrong, you're going to have to fall back upon your resources and if you've been depending on others to do your thinking for you, you'll find you don't have many resources to speak of.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This is why in a #charlottemasoneducation we must keep our principles front and center. It's the principles that will help you sort through the issues that come up over the years (and they WILL come up). It's the principles that will help you troubleshoot. It's the principles that will help you invent a good solution.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
A #charlottemason education is not a book list. It's not a curriculum (though there are good ones and she herself wrote very good curricula while she was alive). It's applied philosophy. This means that in order to have a #charlottemasonhomeschool you must actually *have a philosophy* you can apply.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If that sounds overwhelming, be at ease because Charlotte Mason also assured us that "a few broad essential principles cover the whole field, and these once fully laid hold of, it is as easy and natural to act upon them as it is to act upon our knowledge of such facts as that fire burns and water flows." Take firm hold of your principles and you'll have the good reflexes you need when the homeschool day gets real.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Please don't hear me say "never get help" because that's not the point. The point Gatto makes in his quote is how *surrendering all judgment* has a negative impact on YOU. So get help, but in a way where you maintain your competence. Better yet, get help in a way that *increases and bolsters* your competence. Because YES you can do this but ALSO YES you will need to learn and grow along the way.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Happy new homeschool year, my friends.⁠⠀

Need an end-of-summer read?? Ahem. My husband's new book is out! I still remember the day four years ago at breakfast when he told us all about an amazing dream he had. That dream became the central plot line for his book, The Pension Plan.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm so proud of him! ♥️⁠⠀

We just entrusted E-Age-18 to both this school and this church. It’s a wonderful place...but my heart is still a bit broken. Now to try to make it home without falling apart. 😭
