A very interesting book indeed. A great read for those that are looking into using a Charlotte Mason method of education for their children.
I will admit some spots were a bit hard to read. I wasn't excatly sure what she was talking about once or twice, but overall it was an extremely informative book. I still need to do some more CM reading to really get it, and probably I need to put it into practice for a while and it will really start to make sense! LOL! ( )

This is a good place to begin to learn how important literature is in education AND, as importantly, life. ( )

Excellent summary of Charlotte Mason's educational ideas and practices. MacAulay does a wonderful job of pulling out the most relevant Mason quotes and also has a lot of very thought-provoking words of her own. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 089107290X, Paperback)

For the Children's Sake is a book about what education can be--for your child, in your home, and in your school. It is based first on a Christian understanding of what it means to be human--to be a child, a parent, a teacher--and on the Christian meaning of life. At the same time it is deeply practical. Many of the central ideas have been tried and proven true over a century in almost every kind of educational situation. The ideas are in fact so true that they can be applied equally at home, in different schools, in Africa, in the inner city, and in your own community. But they are also ideas which Susan and her husband Ranald Macaulay have tried and proven in their own family and school experience.
