Episode Description from the Publisher

s a classical education in the poetic mode realistic for large families? How does being enrolled in a public charter school shape a homeschool that is seeking to follow The Children's Tradition? Welcome to our new series, A Look Inside Your Homeschool, where Amanda chats with real moms using The Children’s Tradition (TCT) — a classical Charlotte Mason curriculum rooted in the Thousand Good Books books, nature study, and poetic learning. In this episode we sit down with Lindsay Dyson, a mom of eight children, ages 8 months to 13 years old, with five formal students. In this episode we discuss the practical aspects of giving children a poetic education in the context of a large family with lots of babies underfoot. We also discuss how Lindsay's family is able to be enrolled in a charter school, submit student work samples, and still maintain a home atmosphere that is rich in the poetic mode. Join the conversation by being apart of the TCT Toolshed, a private social network for parents desiring to cultivate educational atmospheres rich in poetic experience: https://the-toolshed.circle.so/ Web: https://www.thechildrenstradition.com/ Substack: https://childrenstradition.substack.com/
