Questions about the Veritas Press conference CD's...

[LizzyBee]

Wordmp3 still has these on sale for $69.00 in mp3 format. I decided to listen to a free mp3 from the set before ordering the set. So I am listening to Nancy Wilson's talk on Preparing Your Child for the Logic Stage. The entire talk is about preparing boys for leadership. There is zero content on girls or academics. I am wondering if all of their tapes are like this. I have only girls, so if VP has a bias toward training/teaching boys, their talks will not be useful to me. Also, this particular talk is more about parenting than teaching or homeschooling, and parenting advice is not what I am looking for.

 

Thanks for your input!

 

Correction: After 40 minutes of talking about boys, Nancy switched and talked about girls for 13 minutes.

I purchased these when they were on sale for $49. I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet though, but since I have all boys, I don't know if I would pick up on the boy biased lectures. Here is another thread that talks about the content a little more: http://67.202.21.157/forums/showthread.php?t=8904

I know from their catalog and e-mails that they are biased towards training boys - specifically for leadership. They do teach girls and boys academics but it is not their main focus. Their focus for training girls is for being homemakers and moms. I haven't listened to their CD's though so I can't speak specifically to that.

Thank you, Beth and Jean.
