Sarah Potter: 我有六个孩子，两个已经毕业，四个还在家接受我的家庭教育。从一开始，我就采用夏洛特·梅森的方法进行家庭教育，并一直坚持至今。我非常喜欢这种教育理念，它与我的教育理念相符。但是，在一次家庭旅行中，我感到不堪重负，这时我想到并加入了一个夏洛特·梅森的学习社区。加入学习社区的原因是：我的孩子缺乏同龄朋友，以及我无法与大孩子进行充分的书籍讨论。我们学习社区的模式是每周两次的课程，其余时间在家学习。加入学习社区后，我不得不放弃对学习的控制权，并牺牲了一些时间和精力在路途上。但是，加入学习社区后，我的孩子们获得了真挚的友谊，并能够与他人一起讨论书籍，学习专业科目。我的孩子们弥补了之前缺乏同龄朋友的缺憾，并对家庭教育有了更积极的态度。在考虑是否加入学习社区时，要慎重考虑家庭的具体情况和需求，并避免过度关注某一方面而忽略其他方面。
