Hi,
A person who inspires me is Miss Charlotte Mason - a British 19th century educator.
She was successful in trying out her plan in bringing children up on "books and things." She said, "The average child studies with delight. We do not say that he will remember all he knows , but, to use a phrase of Jane Austen's he will have had his 'imagination warmed' in many regions of knowledge."
I have been preparing to use this on an upcoming post of my own but when I read your quote I couldn't resist sharing it here.
Karen A.
