Second, I am so glad to see someone attempting to push back against the neoclassical ideas of people like Dorothy Sayers and Susan Wise Bauer. She is obviously a master of Mason's ideas, and in that way, this book will be very valuable to the Mason community. It will take you far beyond the ages and stages model into the heart of what it really means to be classically educated.moreįirst, as a practitioner of Charlotte Mason's model, I thought the way Glass explained both the "whats" and the "whys" of Mason's methods was extremely good. If you have any interest at all in what is popularly called 'classical education,' I beg you to read this book. It says everything I have every wanted to say about how Charlotte Mason fits into the classical tradition in such a way as to bring new life to these old ideas.

This book explores the classical emphasis on formation of character and links Charlotte Masons ideas to the thinkers of the past. HicksĬlassical education is an education of the heart and conscience as much as it is an education of the mind. That’s the Mason message admirably conveyed by Glass. The classical tradition as it informs teaching is good not because it is old or “classical,” but because it works and what works, whether old or new, is best. They succeeded-and thanks to Charlotte Mason’s clear development of methods to realize the classical ideals, we can partake of the classical tradition as well. She and the other founding members of the Parents’ National Educational Union in England were inspired by the classical educators of history and set out to achieve their vision in modern education. Charlotte Mason developed her own philosophy of education from the riches of the past, not accidentally but purposefully. Christian educators such as Augustine, Erasmus, Milton, and Comenius drew from the teaching of Plato, Aristotle, and Quintilian those truths which they found universal and potent. The medieval and Renaissance teachers valued their insights and lofty goals. Charlotte Mason develope The educators of ancient Greece and Rome gave the world a vision of what education should be.
