It would free teachers to actually be creative and not be held hostage to standardized testing and an information-cramming curriculum developed by elected Boards. This approach is great for home schoolers and private schools.
Must have for all parents when considering their child's education

This is a book that brings the Charlotte Mason philosophy into the 21st century - as well as making it easy to understand. We have used this book to compliment our work with homeschooling consultant Carole Joy Seid and make our homeschooling relaxed and a delight for our entire family.
Great for the classical school or homeschooler

Theory Meets Practice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a great book for those who are at least somewhat familiar with the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason and want to see how it looks in the home or school classroom. For those not familiar with Mason, I recommend For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay (also a contributing author in this book.)
