I...I love your mitten problems, and your solution. It brings back memories.<br /><br />Yes, CM gets the results Classical Ed is looking for and does so in a much more enjoyable and effective way. As our kids got older, we switched more to formal classical work, because I'm unable to teach CM at high school level since I've never had a classical education myself. But for anyone under 12, CM is 1000 times better. <br /><br />I always remember: Charlotte Mason herself was an educator all her life; none of the Classical Ed proponents had as much experience with children as she did. She understood children.<br /><br />One thing I wish I had done as a young mom: prepared myself to teach classical literature from a CM point of view. But of course, like all young moms, I had no time. <br /><br />Merry Christmas to you!Annie Katehttp://anniekateshomeschoolreviews.com/noreply@blogger.com
