The Story of Charlotte Mason Show Summary:

This week Dawn and Cindy tackle some more listener questions with their personal opinions based on their experience and their reading
Why is it incorrect to say that the right homeschooling philosophy is the one that works for your children?
How do we seek to follow Charlotte Mason’s philosophy without idolizing the person or the philosophy?
Are we doing something wrong if our children do not like to narrate or seem to enjoy the books that they have to narrate?
