info_outlineWhen Charlotte Mason admonishes us that we don't have the right to pick and choose which subjects to educate our children in, her primary example is Latin. "But we do not know how much we are shutting out from Tommy's range of thought besides the Latin grammar," she says. "Latin itself is a means of providing our students with stimulating ideas." Join us on today’s podcast as we discuss the teaching of Latin in a Charlotte Mason education.
