Every parent and teacher should have a philosophy of education, or a set of principles, that drives their behavior and choices.
Do you know what yours are?
In this episode I go over Charlotte Mason's 20 principles (or 19, in this case) that she spent decades considering and applying. I have found so much peace and confidence in considering and adopting these principles as my own. As an end to season one I'm sharing these principles along with my own "narration" or paraphrasing of what they mean.
If you don't have a conscious set of principles that guide your behavior and choices then you will failure from overwhelm, confusion, and lack of direction. Consider the following principles in this episode and use them as a starting point for your own.
Do you agree with each one? If not, why? Which ones will you adopt? How will this principle affect your future choices?
