advice on listing this?
[email protected]
I could list this on my teens page
http://sandradodd.com/teens
but I kinda hate to just be advertising for something like this. I'm
hesitant, and yet it seems potentially useful and encouraging, and the more people
who know about and use such early programs the bigger they'll become.
Hmmm..... Any arguments for or against linking this? Anyone read a review of it
anywhere or feel like tracking up a website? I'm guessing from his addresses he
has one:
neilwhite@...
EarlyCollege@...
sandradodd@...
I'm guessing it's elife101, but I'm not in the mood to hunt him down and
thought perhaps someone here might be. Anyway, here's what he sent and it's kind
of intriguing, but DAMNED schooly. <g> On the other hand, I with people
would offer free information. On the other hand... And he's in MS and I have
that nagging prejudice about fundamentalist Christian dads making money off
homeschoolers instead of getting real jobs, but on the other hand he might be a
perfectly normal person. And "Nautilus" is no Bible reference.

I dunno. Oxford, MS has its little liberal haven. It is a university town
(Ole Miss). This is probably a professor at the college.

Good.
So? Is it good information to share on an unschooling site?
Maybe my prejudice tied my reason in a knot. It can happen. <g>

Maybe you could get him to send you a review copy so that you'd know whether it was worth sharing or not? Also, ask him to provide a bio or creditionals or something (which would now that I think about it, probably be in or on the book).
If it is a great book, then you could just grit your teeth and describe it, even if he were a fundamentalist. ; - )

Ummm, I think some people could benefit. I think most people who have been
unschooling for a long time wouldn't have to be introduced to the idea of early
college, and might turn to the book for ideas. Newer unschoolers might find
it odd, but then they're going to find a lot of odd stuff on your site. ;)

<<I recently read EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAMS, and wrote a review
for "Bookpage," the independent booksellers' national newspaper.
Below are a few sections of that review:
EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAMS is the first book ever written on the
relatively little known summer college programs specially designed
for high school students. Such programs seemingly exist for college-
bound high school students who seek to out-wit the competition when
their fate is determined at college admissions time.
Some of the early college programs that this writer noticed in the
book are: "Introduction to Computer Integrated Surgery" at Johns
Hopkins's "Hopkins Precollege Program;" the "International Relations
Program for High School Students" at Georgetown; and, Cornell
University Summer College's "Exploration in Architecture." In a
workable way, the editor has arranged these and hundreds of other
early college programs into 80 career-oriented categories such
as "Toward the Making of a Surgeon," "Toward the Making of a
Diplomat," "Toward the Making of an Architect," and "Toward the
Making of a Filmmaker."
While some, or even many, of these early college programs have long
been known to college counselors and students at elite secondary
schools like Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles or Georgetown Day
School in Washington, D.C., the structure of EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAMS
attempts to appeal to virtually all college-bound high school
students in all income brackets. For example, there is a special
section for students interested in early college programs at
professional art schools, and yet another for students wishing to
attend an early college program at one of the U.S. military
academies; in other words, a high school stint at either the Rhode
Island School of Design or West Point can look pretty impressive
(perhaps extremely so) at college application time. Further, one can
go all out and spend thousands of dollars to attend
Stanford's "Summer College for High School Students," or opt for the
one-week, "All Girls-All Math" program at the University of Nebraska
at Lincoln for just a hundred bucks. Importantly, information on
available scholarships, as well as a special section for
underrepresented youth, is included in the book, too. >>
The helpful part of the book might be the "Toward the Making of a
[enter your career here]." If you put it on your site, you might
focus on that.
This review is definitely written with a schooly perspective (outwit
the competition -- bah), but I could see this helping the unschooled
teen who really knows what they want to do.
Hope that helps.
