Gifted and Stuck in School!

Gifted education is a subject very near and dear to my heart!  That is the reason why I began homeschooling in the first place.  After we started, I was surprised at how many other benefits there are!  If your child is bored, and you have been wanting to homeschool high school but you’re afraid, I have some suggestions.

First of all, I do have a website devoted to homeschooling gifted teenagers here.

And I have an audio CD about gifted education here.

I think you will like the gifted education CD because you will be able to hear what it was like for me to watch my children in the gifted education program in school and how I contrast that to homeschooling.

You may also want to check out my  e-book on transcripts.  That will answer all your transcript concerns, but it also comes with a one month free membership to the Gold Care Club. The ebook is $37, and you can find out more  here.  If you decide to keep your membership to the Gold Care Club, then after your first free month it is $27.  To cancel, you just send me an email (easy.)  The club has video and audio courses about how to homeschool, and they change every month.  This month is the perfect month for you to see it because the Gifted Education course is actually on the Gold Care Club right now.  Here is a list of all the classes on the Gold Care Club right now (October 13, 2009):

How to Training Courses

Quick Start:
“Keys to High School Success” If you are new to the Gold Care Club, start here.

Beginner:
“Preparing to Homeschool High School” third hour of a four hour course.

Intermediate:
“Making a High School Transcript” is a new audio recording.

Advanced:
“Find the Perfect College”
“Course Descriptions – Demystified”
“Gifted Education”

Encouragement:
Blog Talk Radio interview called “Do Not Be Afraid!”

You might also like the Preparing to Homeschool High School video, because it covers all the bases, and I made sure to address issues for people who have never homeschooled before.  Here is the link to that video.

Finally, please don’t avoid homeschooling because of fear.  Fear is a lousy reason – fear is something that can prevent you from hearing God.  My job is to remove the fear, so that you can hear what you are supposed to do.  There is nothing to fear!  Just check out these statistics, to see the academic promise of homeschooling:

For more encouragement, here are some short video clips. These may help remove the fear, and remind you that you aren’t the only one who knows what it’s like to have gifted teens in a regular school.
