Features: This book is a unique gem, as its subject matter is broad and its research is thorough. Mason's educational philosophy emphasizes that both family and school should be places where children, parents, teachers, and others continuously learn and grow. Reading her book, we discover ourselves and realize that if we want to successfully educate our children, we must constantly understand self-education. Charlotte Mason is a bright light that illuminates the art of children's thinking. Her ideas are practical, as she identifies problems and proposes tested, creative solutions. She provides us with a vision of what education can and should be, and warns us against neglecting or misusing responsibility and authority. Although Mason's works were written decades ago, she bravely challenges us today. Many parents are confused about family education, and many teachers and students struggle in our education system. This system still seeks to exclude the influence of parents and culture in educating our children, a system that teaches them to take exams rather than learn how to live. I believe we need to reconsider life, culture, and history, so that our children can be nourished by the sustenance of life rather than sawdust. I hope this book can give parents, teachers, and children hope and life, just as Charlotte said: "For the child's sake."
