Re: Charlotte Mason?
I think to some degree, labels of homeschooling methods, "unschooling," etc. are semantics... not that they don't have distinct meanings, but people use them to describe different ideas. I myself use different words depending on whom I'm speaking to. People often ask me about my plans for education (yes, even though my little one is only 3 months old... I think because I live in China and they just wonder what options I will have). If I'm talking to someone who's into alternative education, I might say "more structured learning in the morning, unschooling in the afternoons." If I'm talking to someone who'd rather my kids be in U.S. public school, I might say "I'm thinking about using the Ambleside curriculum." Just whatever would be most accurate to that hearer's ears!
