I am amazed at what I am learning in this book. It has tests and questions that help me figure out what I like. Because otherwise I really don't know what I like. Or should I say I know what I like I just don't know how to put it into words.
So, a test that I recently took and had my husband take is "Which Approach to Education Should I Use?" They ask questions of what you would prefer in ways to teach your children. These are the names of the different approaches to teaching.
- Traditional
- Charlotte Mason
- Classical
- Unit Study
- Unschooling
- Independent Study
- Eclectic
- Umbrella Program
I have found that I really don't like the traditional style. It would be like schooling your children at home but doing it in a way as if they were still at public school, just without the big classroom. It could totally work for some. Just not for me.
I have found that I really like the Charlotte Mason way of teaching. I love it! I can't go into detail right now of what it is all about. I also haven't read in detail all of the other ways of schooling. By taking the test it shows that I prefer Charlotte Mason first and Unit Study second. I haven't read about it yet but I think I might only like unit study just because I am terrified to teach on my own at this point.
My husband scored highest with Charlotte Mason and Classical. So I am glad that we are on the same page.
This is exciting!
