Schoolhouse Expo Teen Track

I am one of those folks that believes we should equip our children, through education and opportunities, to take over the world when they become grown.  Now, I don't mean take over the world like a dictator.  What I do mean, is that our children can greatly begin to change the world around them at this age, now, as teens, tweens and any other age they hit before they are labeled "adult."

Here is a great article from Gena Suarez, publisher of The Old Schoolhouse magazine.  It's a great article about providing entrepreneurial opportunities for your almost adult children.  There's another opportunity to educate through incredible speakers with the Schoolhouse Expo's Teen Track.  Remember, homeschooling is often a fast track opportunity for children of any age to experience real life situations with the safety of parental oversight and encouragement.  With a range of experiences available, who needs to wait for a college program that simulates a business, when you can start now? 

What about school you ask?  Math? Writing? Economics? Government? Socialization?  You need to hit those basics!  Really?  Have you ever tried to develop, market and sell a product?  It includes all of those great "subjects" without the heavy handed textbook that weighs down the eyelids.  What a great opportunity to challenge your child!  Did I mention, they will also have classes on earning college credit while in high school, writing timed essays, self-motivation, etc.  You and your students do not want to miss this Schoolhouse Expo Teen Track!

Check out Gena Suarez's article here http://bit.ly/gwe2fw.  Oh and remember, if you are unable to attend the live broadcast of the Teen Track, the MP3's are given as part of your admission ticket.  Might want to get that ticket soon, the early bird price of $19.50 is good only a bit longer (and there are only about 1200 tickets left -- yikes!).
