Education is a life. That life is sustained on ideas. Ideas are of spiritual origin, and God has made us so that we get them chiefly as we convey them to one another, whether by word of mouth, written page, Scripture word, musical symphony; but we must sustain a child's inner life with ideas as we sustain his body with food.

Charlotte Mason, Toward a Philosophy of Education Show Summary:

• Cindy and Dawn take some time for a more informal chat about some ideas that have been on their minds and hearts lately
• The danger of "windows and mirrors" and trying to see ourselves instead of looking to God
• Some thoughts on narration and attention
• The value of listening to the experience of older homeschool moms
