Charlotte Mason & Special Needs Children
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, Summer 2008, had a couple of articles that spoke directly to me. In their “Style” section they featured Charlotte Mason and her methods with: Charlotte Mason and Susan Schaeffer Macaulay – Mentors of the Modern Homeschool Movement, and Charlotte Mason: Our Heroine for Special Needs, and The Love and Lure of Nature Walking.
A couple of articles also addressed the needs of raising and educating special needs children: Charlotte Mason: Our Heroine for Special Needs, and 10 Reasons to Homeschool Your Child With Special Needs, and Rising to the Call to Care for a Special Child – an interview with Norm Wakefield.
It touched my heart when Norm Wakefield spoke about his daughter Amanda and said, “Although Amanda doesn’t have the capacity to know and understand many theological and spiritual truths, she isn’t as handicapped by many of the sins with which most “normal” people frequently struggle.” He then went on to “wonder if God often sees those of us who appear to have greater intellectual and physical abilities as more spiritually disabled or handicapped.” This made me think about my own son and his sweet, sensitive nature.
Criticisms of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine are few, and far between. What would be great, though, coming from someone who loves Interior Decorating, is a 4-page spread of trendy, efficient schoolrooms. That would make this magazine PERFECT!!
I was so glad my homeschooling magazine came this week. I was unsure what to expect, but was happily surprised by the high-end look of the magazine and its articles. The Old Schoolhouse Magazine – Right on target for homeschooling families.
