I've tried to comment on your blog a couple of times recently but for some reason I've had trouble - not only your blog; mostly Wordpress blogs but I think it's my end. Occasionally my comments go into spam as well, which is very annoying!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-22593417839752738622020-10-14T16:57:22.347+11:002020-10-14T16:57:22.347+11:00Thank you, Amy!

I didn't strictly follow Ambleside, but often used many of their suggestions.<br /><br />I heard so many of the things you mentioned about a Charlotte Mason Education not being rigorous enough. I was often unwilling to mention that I used her methods in high school. I knew my kids were getting an excellent education and they both did well in college. <br /><br />Congratulations on homeschooling seven children!

We've enjoyed some of these too and that Australian artist's work is gorgeous.

I have a vague memory of reading an interesting book years ago but I have no idea what it was!<br />I read a bit about Franky Schaeffer but wasn't impressed. So sad for his family as he just sounds bitter and twisted & spoilt.<br />I've read a few books by Edith S and she is very good but really could do with a good editor!!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-89545244072795964722020-10-12T17:21:41.933+11:002020-10-12T17:21:41.933+11:00Thank you, Emma!

Homeschooling leaves more time for students to pursue their interests & they usually have more choice, I think & so often study subjects they are really interested in.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-75283420961927816072020-10-12T17:19:14.494+11:002020-10-12T17:19:14.494+11:00Hi Brian, I remember that when the movie came out ...Hi Brian, I remember that when the movie came out it was a first in that it really brought Shakespeare to a much wider audience. I didn't realise it was as old as that except that Branagh looked so young compared to more recent movies I've seen him in!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-6538843439226134872020-10-12T17:09:29.596+11:002020-10-12T17:09:29.596+11:00I really enjoy seeing photos of stacks of books th...I really enjoy seeing photos of stacks of books the way other people like seeing art. It makes me feel so good.<br /><br />I read the Gods, Graves and Scholars, thanks to you and enjoyed it.<br /><br />Six Easy Pieces sounds Intriguing and of course the wonderful Francis Schaeffer. I read How Then Should We Live and other books by him. In fact I have all of his works, even though I haven't read them all.<br /><br />Too bad his son turned out to be a bad egg. He calls himself a "Christian Atheist."<br /><br />I'd be interested in reading his wife's book about L'Abri.<br /><br />Hope you're having a wonderful spring. Autumn is finally peeping its head around the corner here in Northeast Texas.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-61697520969801808662020-10-11T08:52:23.873+11:002020-10-11T08:52:23.873+11:00Congratulations for this amazing program.

I remember taking a Shakespeare in English History class where were studying that play and going to see the movie in the cinema at the same time. That must have been in 1989. It is a great film adaptation. Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
