You're listening to Skalais Sisters, episode number 67.

Welcome to Skalais Sisters, the podcast for the classical homeschooling mama, who seeks to learn

and grow while she's helping her children learn and grow.

Scalais Sisters is a casual conversation about topics that matter to those of us in the

trenches of classical homeschooling who yearn for something more than just checking boxes and

getting it all done. I'm your host, Brandy Vensel. You can find me at Afterthoughts. That's where you'll find my thoughts on educational philosophy and homeschooling,

as well as my Charlotte Mason study guides and workshops.

My co-host today is Abby Wall.

Abby is basically the queen of the school A sister's sister ship.

Abby is a country-living farmer, rancher, a loving wife

and mom of five who homeschools and reads whenever she can. Our special guest today is one of my

favorite people, Karen Glass. Karen Glass has been homeschooling her children for 25 years, and she's not

quite finished yet. She is one of the founders of the

Ambleside Online Curriculum Project and has delved deeply into Charlotte Mason's philosophy of education.

She has lived in Poland where her husband ministers for over 20 years. In the last few years,

she has begun writing books to share some of the things she has learned along the

way. Speaking of the sister ship, we cut about five minutes from this episode and it's available

there in the cutting room floor bonus section. To join us, just go to scolacisters.com

slash sister ship and sign up for the basic membership.

You'll help support the podcast and get fun and interesting extra audio all at once.

Today, Abby and I chat with Karen about motivation.

Are there right and wrong ways to motivate our students?
