Ali Hazelwood
“(Academic men tend to harbor many delusions-- except for Pierre Curie, of course. Pierre would never.)”
Ali Hazelwood

“One popular trend in education is to emphasize “STEM” subjects to such a degree that science, technology, engineering, and math dominate a child’s school career. There is nothing wrong with those studies, but if a child has no time to read poetry and stories, to experience art and music, to delve into history and learn to appreciate the heritage of the past, we have violated the principle that education is the science of relations. A person wants to know about many things and a child needs broad exposure to all kinds of knowledge, especially in the younger years. That wide exposure lays a good foundation for specializing later--in a STEM subject or anything else.”
Karen Glass, In Vital Harmony: Charlotte Mason and the Natural Laws of Education
