A quote from Charlotte Mason...
For more on-line support, join the Charlotte Mason Study Loop and participate in lively discussion.
"Believing that the individuality of parents is a great possession for their children, and knowing that when an idea possesses the mind, ways of applying it suggest themselves, I have tried not to weight these pages with many directions, practical suggestions, and other such crutches, likely to interfere with the free relations of parent and child. Our greatness as a nation depends upon how far parents take liberal and enlightened views of their high office and of the means to discharge it which are placed in their hands. "
from Volume 3 of the Original Homeschooling Series (six volume set)
