Brooke lewis: This was such a great resource for me as a new homeschooling mom. I first listened on audible and then bought the physical copy, to reread and mark in.

Shelly: If you are considering homeschooling with a Charlotte Mason ideology, you must read this book! I couldn't put it down. It made me more excited to pursue homeschooling and to include CM's philosophy of education into our home and has been our guide as we began our first year homeschooling this year.

John Price: A great book for any homeschooler or those who have any interest in the quality of their child's education.

Waldorf Home EdderWaldorf Home Edder: Don't be put off this book, nor CM education philosophy, by the strong Christian basis. As an atheist, I've found a wealth of information in this book which is a personal review of CM and how it has worked for the author and her communities. It covers the major principles of CM as a whole in review (it is not a curriculum). I've found Waldorf education lacking in some aspects which CM has the answers to- Waldorf too airy fairy for you? CM offers the practical real life living education that works in a family. I devoured this book in a couple of nights and it has really crystallised 'how' I want to present an education and what I want to include (a distinct lack of fairies and gnomes for instance). A great book for HE families but also those with children in school- if parenting is strong at home then you can balance the negative effects from schools. Highly recommend for all parents.

Shahrooz: The book came promptly and was in excellent condition. The book itself has been very useful for guiding our understanding on homeschooling.
I highly recommend this book for anyone considering homeschooling or even interested in their child's education outside of public school.

Fluit Momma: If you have influence over any young people, this book is for you! It has so much to offer everyone from the early years educator to the homeschooler, it does focus a lot on Charlotte Mason and her philosophies so if you've been considering a Charlotte Mason style education for your children this is an excellent place to begin but don't let this fact stop you from reading it no matter the educational style you are considering or have chosen. This is one I will come back to again and again over the years.

Betsy McPeak: This book reveals the incredible wisdom and philosophy of education formed by Charlotte Mason, a teacher in England around the turn of the 20th century. Susan gives you a good grasp of Mason's principles that I have followed in homeschooling for 25 years, but these same principles can (and should!) apply to private and public education. Education is about lighting that fire, not filling the bucket. If you want your child to be full of information, this is not the educational philosophy for you. To quote Charlotte Mason, "It doesn't matter how much they know, but how much they care." CM viewed children as real persons, and her educational system reflects that. This is not un-schooling, though there are some commonalities, such as delight in learning. This is not classical education, though there are some commonalities, such as reading great books. But CM's philosophy of education, in my opinion, far surpasses un-schooling and classical education. It offers a balance of structure and freedom, and you will never find your children mechanically memorizing anything without understanding (which I consider inhumane). Rather than just select curriculum and homeschool, why not develop a...
