About Karen Glass

Karen Glass is part of the Advisory of AmblesideOnline. She has four children, ages 13 to 27, who have been homeschooled using Charlotte Mason’s methods from beginning to end. She has been studying and writing about Charlotte Mason and Classical Education for over twenty years, and has written Consider This to share the most important things she has discovered about the connection between them.

David V. Hicks says…

The classical tradition as it informs teaching is good not because it is old or “classical,” but because it works; and what works, whether old or new, is best. That’s the Mason message admirably conveyed by [Karen] Glass.

(David V. Hicks is the author of Norms and Nobility: A Treatise on Education, a definitive modern text on classical education.)

Jennifer Dow says…

One of the biggest frustrations I have encountered in pursuit of the this tradition is how many tensions seem to be unresolvable on this side of eternity. Karen resolved many of those tensions for me. It was like a healing balm on tattered nerves that were trying a bit too hard.

Michelle Miller says…

Strong. Wise. Deep. Nourishing. Noble. Inspiring. Meaty. Still, with all these adjectives, I cannot aptly describe the bottomless riches of this concise book. I thought that my fire for heart education could not be further stoked; I was mistaken. Karen Glass has here laid out the thrilling joy of education, for both the teacher (who is him/herself still learning) and the taught. Consider This also caused me to realize that I have not proactively implanted a vision for education in my own children’s hearts. I thought they would “catch” it from me through our discussions and daily studies, but the postmodern malaise of their culture permeates too easily. But, Karen has done for us just what Charlotte Mason did: she hasn’t just helped us “know about” education, but has helped even my young teens “know” education by building a relationship with it for themselves…one that will fuel their pursuits and later parental decision-making. How grateful I am for this savory content, which so easily lays before us accessible wisdom; further, I am thankful that Karen’s keen mind made the wording compact, dense, and time-saving. This is a trove of insight that will never fail to enliven, thus I will definitely be dipping in again and again!

Sonya Shafer says…

From the very beginning I couldn't put it down! What a gem! You have succeeded admirably in (1) clarifying what true classical education is and how Charlotte Mason is related to it; (2) presenting those ideas in a simple, easily understood way; (3) permeating it all with a genuine spirit of both grace and truth. The quotes woven throughout are so helpful! I found myself on several occasions grinning as I read and new understanding dawned, "Oh! That's what Charlotte meant by that comment!" Now I see a fuller picture. Thank you for that gift!

Cindy Rollins says…

This may be the most important book written on education since Norms & Nobility. When I finished reading it I started right back at the beginning and now that I am nearing the end of my second reading I plan to read it again. Karen says everything I would have loved to say about education (if I had the mind to grasp it) in a clear, understandable, and easy to read style. It is the missing link between what we call Classical Education and the Charlotte Mason approach. This is THE book we have been waiting for.
