S8E104: Misrepresentations of a Charlotte Mason Education with Karen Glass
We endeavour that all our teaching and treatment of children shall be on the lines of nature, their nature and ours, for we do not recognise what is called ‘Child-nature.’ We believe that children are human beings at their best and sweetest, but also at their weakest and least wise. We are careful not to dilute life for them, but to present such portions to them in such quantities as they can readily receive.
Charlotte Mason, Parents and Children, p. 232

…we do not realise children, we under-estimate them; in the divine words, we ‘despise’ them, with the best intentions in the world, because we confound the immaturity of their frames, and their absolute ignorance as to the relations of things, with spiritual impotence: whereas the fact probably is, that never is intellectual power so keen, the moral sense so strong, spiritual perception so piercing, as in those days of childhood which we regard with a supercilious, if kindly, smile.

I would love to see Karen’s comment on Memoria Press’s video but I am not sure where to find it. I found the video but not the comments. Thank you for sharing your conversation with the world!

Unfortunately, Lindsey, it would appear that they have removed all of Karen’s comments quoting Charlotte Mason.
