'Home Education Series Vol. IV: Ourselves, Book II. Self-Direction' Summary
Charlotte Mason's "Ourselves, Book II: Self-Direction" explores the concept of self-knowledge and self-direction in education. Mason believed that children should be encouraged to explore their own interests and develop their own unique abilities, rather than being forced to conform to a prescribed curriculum. She also emphasized the importance of moral values and character development, arguing that these are essential for a well-rounded education. Mason's methods have been used by homeschoolers for decades and continue to be popular today.Book Details
