Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Proposal: homeschooling & afterschooling section

This post is intended to gauge interest in creating a permanent sub-section for homeschooling and afterschooling. These seem to be perennial topics that are relevant to a large number of members of our community.

Thoughts?

YES-- can we at least try a sticky to gauge interest over time?

I don't see the reason for a sub-section. These are just parts of "Learning Environments" and also the boundaries between the parts are not clear cut.

Just out of curiosity, how many people use the sections, and how do you use them? I only notice the sections when I have to decide where to create a new thread, i.e., to me they are nothing but a nuisance and I'd be happier with a completely flat structure. Am I unusual in this?

I find it useful to have a more organized structure in which to search, particularly if I'm looking back at a series of previous posts on a related topic.

I use the sections all the time. I like the way the forum is organized. And being one of the people asking and engaging in homeschooling topics, I'd love to have a sub-section. I know there are homeschooling forums all over the internet but there's homeschooling and then there's homeschooling gifted kids so I would think it would be of a great benefit for HS to have it's own spot.

I like the "flat" structure in the recent post section on the right but overall, I'd think posts would get lost too easily of it wasn't for the various subsections.

I appreciate having the sections - it makes it much easier to search through recent posts in areas people are interested in (I wouldn't have time to sift through a huge combined list, but try to take the time to look through the 2e forum). I also think homeschooling and after-school enrichment are topics that would have plenty of discussion to keep a section active
