What Does Charlotte Mason Say about the Value of Latin?

July 18, 2016 by Angela 5 Comments

The mere thought of teaching Latin is daunting to most homeschooling parents. This is understandable—few parents have studied it themselves and no one speaks Latin anymore! Why should we study it?!?

A "Small Collection of Books" Can Transform a Life

Once upon a Time…

there was a little girl, a firstborn, who thrived on accomplishment. When she grew up, she learned, after many stumbles and errors, that it was not such a wise habit to have her sense of self all wrapped up in attainments. Now in her middle years, she has five children and is ever more aware of her limitations.
