Charlotte Mason was an educational philosopher from the late 1800s - early 1900s. We follow her methods (of which she wrote extensively) in implementing our home education. She so well saw to where our modern education philosophies would lead and cautioned educators on a number of points, one of which was testing. From her words: If we work for public examinations, the questions in which must be of a narrow academic cast, we get a narrow, accurate, somewhat sterile type of mind. We reap as we have sown . . . lay out a liberal field of study and astonishingly fair things will grow in that garden of mind in which we are invited to sow the seeds of all knowledge. Such a wise woman to see our modern, academic sterility at its inception. She may well be the first to protest standardized testing.
