A Charlotte Mason Moment:
“For instance, he is set to do a copy of strokes, and is allowed to show a slateful at all sorts of slopes and all sorts of intervals; his moral sense is vitiated, his eye is injured. Set him six strokes to copy; let him, not bring a slateful, but six perfect strokes, at regular distances and at regular slopes.”
(Home Education by Charlotte M. Mason Vol. 1, p. 160)
