So, if you were reading, "...the first three lustres...", would you automatically understand that to be 15 years?<br /><br />Mystie, Formation of Character is the book that really made me see how deeply Charlotte Mason belongs to the classical tradition of education. However, it is not an orderly whole in the same way that Home Education and School Education are. Part 1 is a series of stories that appeared in the Parents' Review to illustrate her ideas about habit-training. Part 2 is about the history, formation, and goals of the PNEU. Parts 3 and 4 have all the meat in them, and you could skip 1 and 2 and read them first if you wanted to. (It's really easy to get bogged down in those stories at the beginning.) Or you could skip back and forth a bit--not necessary to read from front to back in order..Karen G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00680320370181357559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933987.post-15380379287438885762011-04-05T23:56:39.950+02:002011-04-05T23:56:39.950+02:00How nice to be in a book club with you again! :)
...How nice to be in a book club with you again! :)<br /><br />Thank you for including the Vol. V quote. I have read the volume only once, and had <i>completely</i> forgotten that part--even now, it doesn't really sound familiar to me. Sounds like I needed the reminder!<br /><br />My son the other day gasped in the middle of a book and said, "All these stories are connected!" He is a naturally analytical person--his narrations are almost annoyingly detailed--so it warmed my heart that he was seeing the big picture.<br /><br />The whole.<br /><br />I am going to try and keep that thought at the forefront of my mind this week.Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933987.post-55273173003722363492011-04-05T23:53:08.708+02:002011-04-05T23:53:08.708+02:00Ok, "Formation of Character" really need...Ok, "Formation of Character" really needs to be my next book! :) Brandy has referenced it often lately, too. <br /><br />CM's science of relations and idea that until age 12 our goal is to open doors of interest and set their feet in a broad place helped and encouraged me so much as I stared down planning "third grade," which has been my mental deadline for "getting serious" with schooling. Instead of worrying about "what they need to know," I get to focus on showing them how interesting the world and people are. That makes it a whole lot easier to be excited about it!Mystiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489205990532734556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13933987.post-43733171830234053892011-04-05T22:42:19.303+02:002011-04-05T22:42:19.303+02:00Karen.

I admire your restrain in the length of your post. :)<br />I like the synthetic versus analytic distinction, and I enjoyed CM quotes too.<br />Great warning! Getting an education in some schools it is like building a house from the roof. Quite impossible. <br />Do you know that lustro in Spanish means a period of 5 years!Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.com
