Secular Charlotte Mason

The original article reminds me of a Charlotte Mason education in the way the kids are not pressured and the teachers can choose books, etc.  Also reading is a high priority in this country.  Other countries are now looking at the schools in Finland, wanting to replicate their success.  Here is the article and my blog post about and Free Range Kids, Lenore Skenazy's comments on it.  ~Cori
