We discuss how important this connection is to her philosophy, as well as how it has had an impact on the classical education movement. Some important discussion points include:The poet's influence on MasonThe revitalization of Shakespeare, wonder, and a curiosity framework in educationA deep understanding of ideas and making relational connectionsMethod as it is tied to a pedagogyMason's method of a lesson and how to properly interpret her 20 principlesReason for caution: Why reading Charlotte Mason in part can be misleading ResourcesIf you want to read Coleridge, Karen Glass recommends this version.

Do you remember the first episode of the season? I laid out the first morning of formal schooling with its materials galore: alphabet and math manipulatives, nature packs, watercolors, piles of books, cups of tea, and so on. I asked if buying and organizing supplies are what make a ready mother-teacher or if maybe, just maybe, we were missing the main thing. You know, like how to teach.From January to December, we've spent the entire year getting our pedagogy in place, learning our educational philosophy, and preparing to be mother-teachers. It's been a joy to do this and I hope you feel yourself getting your bearings in the classical Mason world as we learn together. Before I close us out this season, I have one more surprise. Today, the excellent Karen Glass joins me on the podcast to bring it all together: motherhood, philosophy, and education as one harmonizing whole. It was a dream to talk with her and I hope you enjoy our conversation!To catch the bonus question at the end of the episode, join us in Patreon! __________ Karen Glass homeschooled all of her four children from start to graduation using Charlotte Mason's methods.

Show NotesHow we posture ourselves as questioners or learners matters. As an example, Karen points to the serpent in the Garden with Eve and then God's response and what we can learn from these kinds of stories. We also discuss maieutic questioning and the role it plays in coaching students well. There are many problems with reading comprehension questions and how they interfere with natural connections between author and reader. At the heart of questions, we must begin with two questions: "What is a person?" and "What is education?" Some topics in this episode include: Sometimes, the question is more important than the answer. What happens to an answer when the right question does not precede it? What are Socratic questions, and what are common mistakes with Socratic questions? How questions create a mental posture How does the relationship between question and answer influence the relationship between student and teacher? What is a person, and what is education? What kind of curriculum should I buy for homeschooling? What is a philosophy of education? What is the relationship between caring and asking questions?

Scholé Sisters: Camaraderie for the Classical Homeschooling Mama
Mystie and Brandy are glad to have Karen Glass back on the show to help us kick off Season 8. Karen is the author of Consider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition and Know and Tell: The Art of Narration and a member of the Advisory of AmblesideOnline. She has four children, mostly grown and married, who were homeschooled using Charlotte Mason’s methods from beginning to end. Karen has been studying and writing about Charlotte Mason and Classical Education for over twenty years For this episode, Brandy, Mystie, and Karen discussed division -- what it is, how people do or don’t cause it, and whether it’s always wrong. *** This episode is sponsored by the book In Memoriam: A Tribute to Charlotte Mason. After Charlotte Mason died in 1923, a memorial service resembling an educational conference was held in her honor. Those who had spent years observing her life and work warmly described her impact on their own lives and careers. These sentiments -- some philosophical, some personal -- were recorded in the book In Memoriam. In Memoriam is biography, memoir and philosophical commentary all in one, but more importantly, it’s great February reading -- you’ll find it full of small, inspiring bites that warm your insides and get you philosophically motivated.
