Here's another quote from Charlotte Mason's A Philosophy of Education, which is Volume 6 in her excellent series.
"One thing at any rate we know with certainty, that no teaching, no information, becomes knowledge to any of us until the individual mind has acted upon it, translated it, absorbed it, to reappear, like our bodily food, in forms of vitality. Therefore, teaching, talk, and tale, however lucid or fascinating, effect nothing until self-activity be set up; that is, self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child's nature."
