Quote: Home Education

From Part V (Lessons as Instruments of Home Education) in Home Education (Charlotte Mason's Homeschooling Series):

The resourcefulness which will enable a family of children to invent their own games and occupations through the length of a summer's day is worth more in after life than a good deal of knowledge about cubes and hexagons, and this comes, not of continual intervention on the mother's part, but of much masterly inactivity.
