HomeThe Hallmark of an Educated Person
Charlotte Mason said that the hallmark of an educated person is one who can pay attention, because it similarly implies the ability to retain knowledge for very long periods of time. The ability to retain what you learn is key to education. Learning to pay attention is not necessarily something that we are born with. It is a skill which needs to be carefully, patiently and lovingly developed and honed over many years.
Earlier it was mentioned that one of Charlotte Mason’s main pillars of education is the concept of education being a discipline. And she inferred this to mean the discipline of habits. One of these habits to be formed is the habit of paying attention. Love2Learn Curriculum considers narration foundational!
