I am finding just the most cool quotes from John Holt and Charlotte Mason. I have been imagingin what it would be like if the two met at a dinner party. I would want CS Lewis there, too,I think.
Anyway I will be posting these as I run across the gems..
Enjoy!
Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
John Holt
“The Life of the Mind grows upon Ideas––Now that life, which we call education, receives only one kind of sustenance; it grows upon ideas. You may go through years of so-called 'education' without getting a single vital idea; and that is why many a well-fed body carries about a feeble, starved intelligence; and no society for the prevention of cruelty to children cries shame on the parents.” Vol 3 pg 80 Charlotte Mason
People should be free to find or make for themselves the kinds of educational experience they want their children to have.
