I experienced a 'great recognition' that made sense of the struggles i had noted in my students, my children, and in myself. It pointed a way forward of how to truly understand education within one's discipleship of Christ, and showed how I could see my efforts as parent, teacher, and administrator, redeemed. I found my place, as it were, coming back to Charlotte Mason to consider what she had to say to people like me nearly a century after her death. 

Summer is a great time to reset and renew one’s family’s commitment to grow together in “creativity, relationship, and engagement.” Instead of trying to keep a child busy through screens or intensively scheduled weeks, consider instead some life-affirming ways to continue the kinds of habit and character formation that he or she enjoys at RMCA. ‍
