Homeschool thoughts......Well I am sure I am not the only mum that has been affected by the economy. Its shows in our homeschool. So being not a giver upper I am decided to compile my own lessons from what I have. Which has been a welcome relief. I have tons of items books in general. Its was about time to let go of the curriculum in a box strings. And stand up and a mother and teacher and nourish my childrens education with what I had. When looking at homeschooling there are all different relms of philosophy. I can attest that I have done them ALL, from unschooling to classical. They all worked at the season of our life, and I am grateful for that. There are 2 particular ones that I hold on to when planning our homeschool that is Charlotte Mason and Classical with a touch of literature rich and eclectic. I have a wonderful little desk calendar that has quotes and things from Ms. Mason. I adsolutely love it when I go to it. So here are a few of her quotes, that have been a staff for me.
Here is an end to the easy philosophy of "It doesn't matter". "Oh, he'll grow out of it."
.....Every day, every hour, the parents are either passively or actively forming those habits in their children upon which, more than upon antyhing else, future character and conduct depend. CM
Wow! how many times have I said that?
If a child talks twaddle, it is because his elders are in the habit of talking twaddle to him; leave him to himself and his remarks are wise and sensible............ CM
This is completely TRUE!
The Way of the Will should be taught to Children-
Are you being cross? Change your thoughts. Are you tired of trying? Change your thought.... he can compel himself to think of what he chooses, and will not allow himself in thought that breed mischief. CM
I hope this has helped someone, as much as it has helped me.
