- hchehallcountyhomeeducators (HCHE Hall County Home Educators) - Hall County Home Educators (HCHE) is a nonprofit homeschooling organization in beautiful Northeast Georgia whose purpose is to assist families and smaller support groups in the area by providing opportunities for friendships and mentorships of a diverse people who live, worship, and operate their homeschools in many different ways. We do not prescribe to any one particular method of homeschooling our children. We believe parents have been given the authority by God to decide the best way to educate their children. We do not require a "Statement of Faith" nor do we require that only Christians be members. However, it must be stated that most of our members are of the Christian faith and any advice or support given will be Christian in nature.
We strive to provide activities and field trips for all ages and interests. HCHE thrives on the volunteer efforts of its members to organize such adventures. Each activity and field trip is required to be fully self-supporting so that members who will not benefit from them will not be required to subsidize them. It is the responsibility of each family to decide which of these activities or field trips it will organize or participate in.
If you have a homeschool related announcement or product that would aid us in our endeavor to educate our children, please send your information to hchehallcountyhomeeducators-owner@yahoogroups.com FREE of charge. Please note, however, in order to avoid any misconceptions concerning our nonprofit making purpose and to allow us more time to focus on the education of our children, we do not host fundraising activities to support the HCHE budget.
For more information concerning homeschooling in Georgia or membership fees for HCHE, please send an e-mail to hchehallcountyhomeeducators-owner@yahoogroups.com . You may also write to HCHE, P.O. Box 1883, Gainesville, GA 30503.

That's why we're here--to equip you with the information you need to get you through the initial procedures of homeschooling.
We are the Hall County Home Educators, an organization in North Georgia committed to serving the local homeschool community. Although our regular Yahoo group site is closed to all but the paying members of our organization, we have opened this particular site to all who need help beginning their homeschool adventure in Hall County, Georgia. Should you wish to join the HCHE, you will find the information to do so at hchehallcountyhomeeducators as well as in the "File" section of this site.
Our regular HCHE site has hundreds of links, open and available to anyone, to help you. But, for now, don't burden yourself with too much information! This "starter" site is intended to guide you and help you to focus through the very first steps of homeschooling. So, check out the "Files" section, the "Database" tables, and the "Links" provided at THIS site before you allow yourself to be inundated with more information than you could possibly imagine.

Better Late Than Early
A New Approach to Your Child’s Education
by Raymond S. Moore

| Raymond & Dorothy Moore spent years investigating the results of early education. They examined other studies and did their own studies. They found that in the early years, up to somewhere around ages 8 to 10, it is best for children to be at home in a loving and supportive environment. They found that children who are kept home until they are ready for school quickly catch up with the early starters.

Readers will unwittingly learn more than they bargained for about the (finally) United States, while poring over the endless witty remarks exchanged over state lines.
