  <description><![CDATA[This book is not about &quot;school at home&quot;--it is about  something better. It is about <em>Real Learning.</em>    <p>Homeschooling pioneer Charlotte Mason wrote with great wisdom about  providing young minds with a living books education. She urged  teachers to present great ideas and stand back, allowing students to  form relationships with the ideas.    <p>Elizabeth Foss carries Miss Mason's philosophy from the <em>ideal</em>to the <em>real</em>. How does the busy home-educating mom balance the various needs of a houseful of children? How does she provide short lessons and free afternoons while ensuring that her children receive a thorough and well-rounded education? Exactly <em>how</em> does she use living books to teach history, geography, literature, and scienc? How does she incorporate nature study, the arts, and soccer practice? How does she create in her home an atmosphere of sanctity with Christ at its center, an atmosphere of love in which the whole family can grow in holiness day by day?    <p>How does she manage all this and still get dinner on the table?    <p>With passion and grace, Elizabeth Foss explores these questions and more. <em>Real Learning</em> is a rich and detailed examination of how to let &quot;eduation&quot; spill out of your home classroom into every aspect of your family life. More than a curriculum guide, it is a look at a lifestyle which aims to nourish the whole child, the whold family--heart, soul, and mind.</p></p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[This book is not about &quot;school at home&quot;--it is about  something better. It is about <em>Real Learning.</em>    <p>Homeschooling pioneer Charlotte Mason wrote with great wisdom about  providing young minds with a living books education. She urged  teachers to present great ideas and stand back, allowing students to  form relationships with the ideas.    <p>Elizabeth Foss carries Miss Mason's philosophy from the <em>ideal</em>to the <em>real</em>. How does the busy home-educating mom balance the various needs of a houseful of children? How does she provide short lessons and free afternoons while ensuring that her children receive a thorough and well-rounded education? Exactly <em>how</em> does she use living books to teach history, geography, literature, and scienc? How does she incorporate nature study, the arts, and soccer practice? How does she create in her home an atmosphere of sanctity with Christ at its center, an atmosphere of love in which the whole family can grow in holiness day by day?    <p>How does she manage all this and still get dinner on the table?    <p>With passion and grace, Elizabeth Foss explores these questions and more. <em>Real Learning</em> is a rich and detailed examination of how to let &quot;eduation&quot; spill out of your home classroom into every aspect of your family life. More than a curriculum guide, it is a look at a lifestyle which aims to nourish the whole child, the whold family--heart, soul, and mind.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[This book is not about &quot;school at home&quot;--it is about  something better. It is about <em>Real Learning.</em>    <p>Homeschooling pioneer Charlotte Mason wrote with great wisdom about  providing young minds with a living books education. She urged  teachers to present great ideas and stand back, allowing students to  form relationships with the ideas.    <p>Elizabeth Foss carries Miss Mason's philosophy from the <em>ideal</em>to the <em>real</em>. How does the busy home-educating mom balance the various needs of a houseful of children? How does she provide short lessons and free afternoons while ensuring that her children receive a thorough and well-rounded education? Exactly <em>how</em> does she use living books to teach history, geography, literature, and scienc? How does she incorporate nature study, the arts, and soccer practice? How does she create in her home an atmosphere of sanctity with Christ at its center, an atmosphere of love in which the whole family can grow in holiness day by day?    <p>How does she manage all this and still get dinner on the table?    <p>With passion and grace, Elizabeth Foss explores these questions and more. <em>Real Learning</em> is a rich and detailed examination of how to let &quot;eduation&quot; spill out of your home classroom into every aspect of your family life. More than a curriculum guide, it is a look at a lifestyle which aims to nourish the whole child, the whold family--heart, soul, and mind.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[This book is not about &quot;school at home&quot;--it is about  something better. It is about <em>Real Learning.</em>    <p>Homeschooling pioneer Charlotte Mason wrote with great wisdom about  providing young minds with a living books education. She urged  teachers to present great ideas and stand back, allowing students to  form relationships with the ideas.    <p>Elizabeth Foss carries Miss Mason's philosophy from the <em>ideal</em>to the <em>real</em>. How does the busy home-educating mom balance the various needs of a houseful of children? How does she provide short lessons and free afternoons while ensuring that her children receive a thorough and well-rounded education? Exactly <em>how</em> does she use living books to teach history, geography, literature, and scienc? How does she incorporate nature study, the arts, and soccer practice? How does she create in her home an atmosphere of sanctity with Christ at its center, an atmosphere of love in which the whole family can grow in holiness day by day?    <p>How does she manage all this and still get dinner on the table?    <p>With passion and grace, Elizabeth Foss explores these questions and more. <em>Real Learning</em> is a rich and detailed examination of how to let &quot;eduation&quot; spill out of your home classroom into every aspect of your family life. More than a curriculum guide, it is a look at a lifestyle which aims to nourish the whole child, the whold family--heart, soul, and mind.</p></p></p></p>]]>
