When children love to learn : a practical application of Charlotte Mason's philosophy for today / Elaine Cooper, general editor.
"It can't be denied--children have an inherent desire to know. Teachers and parents can either encourage this natural inquisitiveness or squelch it. There is joy in the classroom when children learn--not to take a test, not to get a grade, not to compete with each other, and not to please their parents or their teachers--but because they want to know about the world around them! Both Christian educators and parents will find proven help in creating a positive learning atmosphere through methods pioneered by Charlotte Mason that show how to develop a child's natural love of learning. The professional educators, administrators, and Mason supporters contributing to this volume give useful applications that work in a variety of educational settings, from Christian schools to homeschools"--Page 4 of cover.
