Gifted and Homeschooling:
Blogs from around the world!
Do you blog about gifted or education issues? Check out our new blog badges!
A number of families raising and educating their gifted and twice-exceptional children (2e) have begun blogging about their family's experiences. The blogs can range from serious to amusing, educational to emotional, or a combination of any and all of these. The key to reading them is in understanding that each family -- each individual -- will have a unique experience to share, yet there will be sufficient commonalities that we can learn from each other and (hopefully!) avoid reinventing the wheel. It can be an incredible relief for a family who has chosen an alternative route to educating their gifted or 2e child to discover that there are others like them, that others have made similar choices and followed the same path.
Following are some of the blogs created and maintained by gifted homeschooling families. As you might expect, linking to these sites is not an endorsement by GHF and we won't necessarily agree with everything posted. Please consider the value of a diversity of opinions!
