If you're homeschooling your daughter and son, have them read Jane Eyre. Show them maturity in a 19yo girl. Contrast with that age today.

Jane shows loyalty and bravery. Resilience and perseverance.

And I learned where Florence King got "Reader, I fucked him" from.

(Of course, Jane didnt say that, just the form.)



Jane was not a young woman of good looks but of great character. Impress that on your charges.
