Listen "Episode 02. Principles to a Charlotte Mason Education"
Episode Synopsis
"They are not born either good or bad, but with the possibilities for good and evil."
Miss Mason held a compassionate view, believing that children are not blank slates, but rather individuals with their own inherent potential for both good and evil.
I found this principle is commonly challenging to grasp, especially since it's easier to contemplate it in theological terms, considering Mason's philosophy is built on the pillars of the Word of God.
It may seem that Mason is suggesting children have the innate ability to discern between moral good and bad, leading some to believe they might choose not to sin. However, Ambleside Online emphasizes that “Principle 2 should NOT be understood as a theological position on the doctrine of original sin, but rather as a heartfelt belief that even children who have faced significant hardships, once regarded as unable to lead honest lives, can indeed learn to differentiate right from wrong when given the right guidance and support.”
So what is meant by that, and why include this in her principles if it has no theological significance? Join me as we jump through the looking glass to a faraway land to familiarize ourselves with Miss Mason once again.
