I would love to be part of this discussion! I have been following Charlotte masoms principles, and using ambleside online for the past 4 years. It has really blessed our family, and made me see education in a whole new light.

The second principle I believe was a reflection of her time, where only some people were seen worthy, if you were wealthy, or of a higher position in society you were seen as superior to those of the lower class. Charlotte mason wasn't born much later then George Muller started his first orphanhes for the poor children on the streets that were treated like they were worthless. A really sad time for the way people viewed children. It makes sense that this was a big issue and one of her principles while it sounds so common sense to us, it wasn't to many of that time. It was a big deal to say that poor children could do as well as those of more prominent families.
