Years ago, when I began to look into homeschooling I purchased a set of books called "The Original Homeschooling Series" by Charlotte Mason. I read these rather meaty books, but I can honestly say I did not understand a lot of what was in them. The ideas put forth by Charlotte Mason were intriguing. I wanted to know more about her philosophy. Sometime later I found two companion books: "For the Children's Sake" by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay and "A Charlotte Mason Companion" by Karen Andreola. I am ashamed to say I never read these books. They have been collecting dust on my bookshelves. Until two days ago at least.
I have rediscovered an idea that homeschooling can be fun for the child as well as the parent. I am veraciously reading these books with a highlighter in hand and a notebook and pen nearby. This is what I've been looking for!
