We worry about what a child will be tomorrow,
yet we forget that he is someone today.

- A_H_E_A_D (Aust Home Educators Article Database) - Inspired by a proposed future change to Australian Federal Government Policy that if implemented will affect the Home Education community, this group has been set up for the storing and sharing of information in relation to our various home education styles and in turn the way we have chosen to live with/parent our children. This maybe in various forms, including: published/non-published research papers; newspaper articles; government policy documents, references to authors etc with links to other Home Education communities around the world, in a similar struggle. It is a place where we can inform the Home Education Community of any plans of action we intend to take in regard to government policy.
Here we will store all the evidence that supports our theory that, ‘Home Education provides a better opportunity than school for a child to receive an education and fulfill their potential in a loving, secure and stable environment’. Should the need arise at some future stage where our practices/methods are called into question, we will be able to access a treasure chest of information.

- australianhomeschoolers (Australian Homeschoolers) - This group was founded for the purpose of providing parents who are educating their own children and others who are interested in following this path with a comfortable site where they can interact with fellow group members without apprehension that the messages they post will be met with nitpicking, snide comments or other discourteous responses. It is not operated by fundamentalists and people of all religious beliefs and non-beliefs are welcome. Here, all topics are appreciated. However, promotion/lauding of a system of schooling which is causing increasing numbers of parents to turn to home education internet groups for assistance and has caused harm to many children who are now being home educated is unacceptable.

- CMandFriends-ANZ - We are Aussie, Kiwi, New Guinea and nearby region families, using Charlotte Mason-inspired, living books, literature-rich, "wholehearted child", and lifestyle of learning, approaches.
Some of us are more eclectic in approach than others, and if you are after a "pure" CM approach, you might be more comfortable on some other lists such as CMason,Ambleside,CMSeries and TimeforTea. However, if you love living books and CM's ideas on education, and want to share experiences and resources relevant to our home surroundings, you'll probably be comfortable here. We try as much as possible to keep "on topic" - if you consider CM methods and living books to be the "heart" of our email discussions, it will help in that direction!
Please note that this list has no affiliation to a particular religion. However, as many Christian homeschoolers use a CM or living books approach, this may be reflected in some posts. On the other hand, we understand that families who do not homeschool for religious reasons, also find such approaches beneficial. We ask for tolerance from all, and note that there is absolutely NO room for theological debate on this list.
