Mary wrote some guidelines for our elist: This is primarily intended to be a place that moms will get support/friendship on issues pertaining to homeschooling, and also on related issues... So it is always okay to discuss family-related issues, from discipline to bedwetting, to teenage issues, etc. Prayer requests, answers to prayer, etc. are also always okay. We don't have to limit the topics strictly to homeschooling.

The following are things I hope will stay OUT of the list:

• -Blatant advertising by people who aren't regular chatters...
• -Politics/legal alerts, etc. There are plenty of other places to talk about these matters, and they just tend to "stir up the juices" when we are reading this just before bed....Let's really try to keep this list something more like a chat with a few good friends just before retiring..
• -All nasty talk...to each other, about each other or other people, etc. I've really appreciated the lack of gossip in this group and hope it stays that way ..
• -Although my resource center/Archers group doesn't have a statement of faith, we are of course, a Christian environment (Hence the name....ARCHERS stands for Association of Relaxed Christian Home Educator R's... Also based on Psalm 127....So basically, no slamming of Christianity or Jesus, no blatant new-age agendas, etc.....Although, again, we are not a completely exclusive group of people here, and we try not to act super judgemental towards others.

Moderators are Donna C in Texas, Cathy in Georgia, and Sheila in Canada. Mary Hood is on the list also.

Our purpose is to help parent educators to promote a new paradigm for home education which focuses upon developing the whole personality of the child--the heart, soul, and mind--to pursue a happy, wholehearted, academically excellent, spiritually complete childhood. We glean from the writings of Charlotte Mason with great joy and we also find ourselves discussing and learning from St. Teresa Benedicta (Edith Stein), Pope John Paul II, Maria Montessori, and Saint John Bosco, among others. We are parents committed to Real Learning. We are passionate about learning in the context of real life. And we are in love with the Real Presence. We are "joyously Catholic and sucking the marrow out of every category of knowledge with bounding enthusiasm but not necessarily within the confines of traditional classroom methods" (Lissa Peterson). We are all on a journey and we welcome you as a traveling companion. We don't profess to have a well-mapped-out road guide, though we do have lots of handy traveling tips. And we are certain of our ultimate destination. We're headed for heaven. We plan to take our whole families with us. Where we go on the way is all part of the adventure. Certainly, the journey can be an arduous one but we are committed to it being a joyful one.

The Largest & Oldest Swap Resource for Roman Catholics on the Net

ATTN CANADIANS ... JOIN OUR SISTER LIST cathswapCAN cathswapCAN-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

All Roman Catholic homeschooling families are welcome to join. Please understand that Cathswap is like a reliable and trusted local Catholic bookstore. Here you will find Catholic Materials not usually found in other general and Christian swaps/boards. You will not find protestant and mainstream Christian titles here. We do our best to weed out materials that are notorious for containing anti-catholic sentiment (just like any good Catholic Bookstore). You will also find popular secular materials.

THE GOAL OF OUR FOUNDER AND LIST OWNER IS TO MAINTAIN A SAVE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ONE-ON-ONE EXCHANGE OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS BETWEEN FELLOW ROMAN CATHOLIC HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES.

As of May 1, 2004 three additional moderators we added to help keep this large list (nearly 3000 families strong) running smoothly and efficiently Caththswap is screened for anti-catholic materials daily. New members are also screened. In five years we have had one unresolved sale! I encourage all Roman Catholic homeschoolers to join … this is one of the best FREE resources out there!

Join our sister list to discuss Catholic Homeschooling: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cathswapCHAT/.

Join our sister list, The Catholic Curriculum Swap http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cathswap/.

For example -

• Learning about Africa: Learn about the saints from Africa, how is the faith celebrated there, where is each saint from (learn more about the region and the customs - geography, etc.), learn about the cultures, etc. etc.
• Native American Unit: Learn about the saints that were indians, learn about the missions, learn about the cultures, etc. etc.

And so on. I will post a unit subject or you may post a unit you are interested and we will all add different ideas, worksheets, coloring pages, crafts, websites, etc. Please be prepared to post often and participate as this will only add to the great units!

Learning is unavoidable and if given the encouragement and environment in which to flourish will happen without coercion or structure. Rigid structure, forced learning and contrived curriculum can be destructive to the desire to learn.

Unschooling, practiced for several decades and by many families, has resulted in confident, productive and independent thinking adults.

As a Christian I believe that unschooling reflects the relationship we have with God, one based on trust, friendship and respect.

This list was formed as a place for Christians who are either unschooling, attempting to implement more unschooling into their lives or just interested in learning more about the ideas.

While the list is open to those who do not consider themselves to be Christian, since it is composed primarily of those who do, respect for the tenets of this faith is expected.

CCU is a forum for friendly exchange of information on unschooling and parenting. While discussion of differing views will be tolerated it must remain courteous and refrain from negative personal comments. All participants are expected to help maintain a welcoming atmosphere for all.

Please note: Chevra is a Jewishly pluralistic list. We welcome and respect all points of view, EXCEPT for the one that says there is only "One True Way" to be Jewish.

For more information, visit http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/1259/jhlfaq.htm.

For more information, visit http://www.christianhomeschooling.us/.

This is a place for fellowship, comfort, support, assistance, encouragement, ideas, brainstorming and resources. We share in the joys and trials of being a support group leader, exchange timely world news affecting Christian families, assist each other in developing goals for individual support groups and so much more.

The Christian Home School Leadership Connection is for all Christians involved with local and state wide support groups in any leadership capacity. Those wishing to join this group should already be active and involved in a home school group. Leadership, for this list, includes being appointed or elected to a position such as board member, newsletter editor, co-op leader, etc.

Please consider joining us in our endeavor to bring families closer to God in all areas of their lives.

Memberships must be approved and are considered "pending". At that time you will receive an email application. If you do not receive an email upon joining, please contact the list owner at ChristianHomeschoolLeadership-owner@yahoogroups.com.

We hope to hit that reset button back to the lovin-n-learnin-lifestyle of very young toddlers at home with mom, no matter what age you (or your children) are. Then we don't need to compare/criticize our efforts or anyone else's, compete with institutions, nor discuss/argue whether anyone "is unschooling" or "is not really unschooling".

The terminology is not the issue! Who owns this word, anyway? Let's walk our talk by treating each other with the sincerity, respect and gentleness that unschooling literature and the Gospel of Christ suggest we should, because we are all disciples and students, always.

(Please- This list is not a place for school/ curriculum promotions, nor "business opportunities" nor party plans nor... well, it's not a marketplace. Thanks!) Blessings, ~Kit. January 2004

You are probably (a) already using this method or (b) interested in learning more about it. Either way, we're glad you're here. This forum is focused on the classical curriculum, in whatever form it may take in each family, and how to apply it within the LDS home, including teachings of the restored gospel and latter-day prophets.

Classical-LDS-hs is a place where ideas can be shared and various educational endeavors can be discussed openly. It is our hope to promote cooperation and excellence in LDS educational efforts. The forum has already seen great success in accomplishing these goals. Many valuable relationships have been built between individuals, true principles have been embraced, and those involved have shared educational principles destined to change our society in a powerful way.

Come join us! Share your ideas, and what has worked for you. Beginners welcome. We look forward to many happy memories together along the homeschooling trail. Tell a friend about Classical-LDS-hs. Then come and share your day with us. Stay tuned and stay in touch.

Come and participate as we pray for one another and help each other to be a Godly homeschooling family. Please contact: Shirvani@juno.com for more info. NO SPAMMING OF ANY KIND IS ALLOWED. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ASK FIRST.

We have a relaxed, friendly, off-topic atmosphere. You're welcome to discuss all aspects of homeschooling, homeschool life, and the everyday daily managing of a Christian family and home.

This is a HIGH volume email group, please take this into consideration prior to joining.

We believe that our salvation is only through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is to the Lord we must look for the wisdom, patience, love, and grace we need to raise our children for Him!

Possible topics of discussion will include breastfeeding, child-led weaning, co-sleeping, natural birth and homebirth, non-circumcising, non-vaccinating, cloth diapering, elimination communication (EC), homeschooling and unschooling, quiverfull, and teaching our children about Jesus, among others. Please don't feel your family must practice all of the above to join! Off-topic discussions are more than welcome.

We welcome anyone whose concept of mothering includes nurturing your child's heart through a relationship based on gentle love, closeness, compassion, and trust. You're also more than welcome to join if you are interested in learning how to discipline in a gentler, non-punitive way. However, please be aware that a main premise of this group is that a mom can practice Biblical discipline without spanking, and punitive discipline methods, especially spanking, will not be suggested, encouraged, or condoned.

Thanks for visiting! The Lord bless you and your family! :) Any mom who believes in Christ as her only Savior may join!

You need not be an expert in any or all of the above to participate. We are all here to help each other to grow in these areas. But you should be "homey" at heart.

Home businesses WILL be discussed and may be advertized and promoted as long as the promoting/advertising is done tastefully and peacefully. NO multi-level marketing wars, please.

This is to be a safe haven for those of us with home-based beliefs and lifestyles. Please, NO slamming or hurtful remarks. They will NOT be permitted.

Doctrinal issues are welcome for discussion. However, these discussions are to be done with an open mind and heart. They should be done using the Lord's Word and NOT just opinion. Opinions are fine and even welcomed so long as they are presented as such and not bound as though they were inspired.

If you join this list be aware that you will be required to strictly obey the following when posting:

• Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
• 1 Peter 3:2 "While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear."

Hopefully, this will make the list a safe and friendly environment for all of us.

Please, feel free to contact me with any questions at GentleSpiritAtHome-owner@yahoogroups.com

We hope that you will feel free to discuss any and all gifted-related topics. Also, you can feel free to talk about your kids without anyone thinking you're bragging or simply being a proud parent. We know better.

Tell a friend about Gifted-LDS-hs! Then come and share your day with us. .

If you need more information about Seton, please go to http://www.setonhome.org/.

"Seton provides detailed lesson plans on a day-to-day basis in every subject for each child; the plans are a great guide and a MUST for parents just starting out, because they help you to organize, know what to do each day, and assess the progress each child is making. Seton's lesson plans are very flexible - you decide how slowly or quickly your child will progress through each subject depending upon his or her ability. Seton provides grading and transcripts for each child. Seton will provide, upon request, standardized tests for each child at the end of each school year. As to whether Seton's program measures up to "national" academic standards, I would say, definitely, "yes".. I really encourage you to give Seton a try, you will be glad you did."

Please note, however, that this list is not an affiliation of Seton Home Study School, nor is it endorsed or monitored by Seton.

Newcomers may be moderated for a time after approval. The length of time is at the discretion of owner/moderator.

Share about school work, every day life raising the children in values acceptable to the Father, dating, dealing with no friends in the faith, and things that most parents deal with.

BOOKS FOR SALE: If you have good condition school books from your past classes that you wish to give away or sell at a fair price, please list them. Don't use the list for a store to sell your used books, you must be taking part in other conversation. Sometimes you may have clothes that your children have outgrown you want to get rid of and another lady would dealy love to have them for her children.

BECAUSE OF SPAM MAIL new members are moderated for a while.

This monthly newsletter will contain information about homeschool, parenting, adoption, work at home and other subjects of interest to Christian homeschool families.

We are a central meeting point for Evangelical, Bible based, Spirit filled Christians who homeschool.

For more information on our organization, visit our web site at http://www.HomeSchoolBlessings.com.

For more information on our organization, visit our web site at http://www.orgsites.com/nj/homeschoolingaquiverfull/.

All christian parents who home school (home-educate) are equally welcome. Homeschoolers from all countries and ethnic backgrounds are equally welcome. All educational styles and philosophies are equally valued. It is hoped that friendships will form across race and national boundaries among members.

Courtesy and kindness are expected in posts.

To encourage and support other Catholic families in loving and serving God as He wishes, KIC's special focus is Catholic education at home - that is, Catholic homeschooling. Our general purpose is to share and defend the Catholic Church's perennial teachings, especially those in regard to marriage and education. Because we are faithful Catholics, our philosophy is the authentic philosophy of the Catholic Church - that is, it is scholastic. With the grace of God, we endeavor to give our children a Catholic education in which the Faith permeates the home and the curriculum.

Our Lord taught, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." For love of Him, our daily aim is to "keep it Catholic" by keeping His Commandments, including the daily prayers of the Rosary, the wearing of the Brown Scapular, and "offering our daily duty" in loving reparation to God and as a sacrifice for the conversion of sinners.

This group is not for mothers just considering Home School or who have their children in Private School. We hope you do these things, but for now, we have chosen to limit membership to only those mothers who currently teach their children in their own home.

We welcome old-timers and new-comers to the homeschooling life, and encourage the members to ask as many questions as they need to. If you feel that a subject may be off-topic, just put "OT" in the subject line, and those who don't wish to partcipate in the discussion can simply skip over it.

This list welcomes discussion of all things relating to family-centered education. That means that sometimes the list might take on a bit of a political slant, which is not a problem as long as the discussion participants give each other respect. This is an email list, and as such we cannot see the expression on the face of the other participant, nor the tone of their voice. It is best to remember not to read things into the statements of others that aren't plainly there.

Flaming will not be tolerated and anti-Mormon sentiments will not be allowed. We will also not accept advertising, other than a line in your signature file. We would also very much appreciate a private e-mail to the list owner BEFORE e-mails inviting others to join other lists are sent to the group, just so we can be aware of the content of the e-mail.

Contact the list owner if you want to send something to the list that advertises any business. Any unsolicited advertising will be considered spam. SPAMMERS will be restricted or banned from the list.

Before being added to the list, you will be asked to write an introductory post.

We do not observe holidays such as Christmas or Easter, but if you seek to learn how to worship G-d the way HE instructs us, then you may join!

This is not a '2House OR Non-2House' Group. Neither view is forbidden & anyone may post favorite web-links from ministries that have blessed them, however please take care to not offend, AND to not be easily offended. Regardless of your view, we all can agree in Galatians 3:28-29 “ There is neither Jew nor Greek...for ye are all one in Yeshua Messiah. And if ye be Yeshua's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Some members study/observe Oral Torah (Talmud) as well. Although posts on Oral Torah are not forbidden if they pertain to homeschooling, we focus on scripture and stress "teaching the basics" to our children foremost.

Homeschool families have precious limited time to spend on forums, so we strive to maintain a warm and productive community here. May the Shalom of Adonai be here.

We hope to create units or lessons plans to accompany Hebrew, Torah, Bible Heroes, Science, Language Arts, Literature, and Jewish/Hebraic History from Creation to present, World History and American History. In addition, topics that each family wishes to study will be addressed as well (Native Americans, Oceanography, photography, etc).

We believe that HaShem has blessed each child with a special gift. As parents, we are to rear our children in Torah and to help them develop their G-d given talents.

We firmly believe in Proverbs 22:6: "Train a child n the way he [should] go; and, even when old, he will not swerve from it." [CJB]

This group is not a place to discuss general homeschooling issues or debate doctrine. Please join one of the many other groups within Yahoo or on the net for these purposes.

An excellent group for issues specific to Messianic homeschooling is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Messianichomeschoolers/.

We created this list for Muslims who are homeschooling or are thinking about homeschooling and in need of support. There are issues that are unique to homeschooling and even more so when one includes Islamic principles. Because home education as unique to each individual family as it is to the child that is homeschooled, we created an environment of learning, of exchanging ideas, of education. That is our primary goal.

This list is for support groups. How do you start one? How do you know if the one you belong to is the right one for you? How do you connect with other muslims?

If you want to discuss home educating Muslim children and the issues facing support groups, this is the list for you! Feel free to post websites which you have found helpful, including your webpage.

Because there are sisters who do not desire interaction with male muslims, this is a sisters-ONLY list. As Muslims, we know, that often we cannot agree on the times for the beginning of Ramadan or the Eid prayers. We leave those things to each Muslim and ALLAH (STWA). That's not the purpose of this list. Please do not join if you are prostelytizing different sects, or if you feel that your interpretation of Quran and Sunnah are the only that count. This list is comprised of Sisters - sunni, shia, noi, sufi, secular muslims, both extremes and everything in between. Know in advance that there are crafts that include pictures and activities that include music.

If you want to discuss home educating Muslim children with others raising and home educating muslim children, then this is the place for you. Feel free to discuss Islamic homeschool, and all that it entails. Feel free to post websites which you have found helpful, including your webpage.

This is a support group for Buddhist homeschoolers in the New England region -- Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont. Here we can talk about how we home-school with Buddhist ethics in mind. How do we live the 4 Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path in our culture?

When we are large enough, we will hold monthly or even weekly meetings, field trips, meditation circles and other neat homeschooling things. Eventually, we will also plan a yearly retreat for Buddhists and home school families in the New England region.

Feel free to join us if you have been a Buddhist home school family for years or are merely interested in it.

We welcome people who are interested in participating (and helping to organize) some of the activities we are planning. On this list, we are privileged to have Orthodox Jews, Conservative Jews, Reform Jews, Reconstructionist Jews, secular Jews. We DON'T have so-called Messianic Jews (Jews for Jesus).

There is no proselytizing allowed on this list. This list is NOT for discussing religious politics or "how" to be a Jew. It's primary goal is to make friends and organize gatherings. Note: NonJews married to Jews and raising their children as Jews or with Jewish traditions are also welcome.

Public school efforts, though excellent and very resourceful, do not always provide support or enrichment to teach the children their faith. We are trying to support one another in either enriching the public school education system with Christian teachings, or entirely homeschool our young children. This list is hoped to be a resource for church school, home school, and family and friends, to support one another and share ideas, hopes and practical tips and experiences to make these holy efforts successful. The foundation of faith is Orthodox Christian -- of the first seven ecumenical councils. Posters need not be members of this list.

This list is for *PARENTS* who practice some form of Paganism (i.e. Neo-Paganism, Wicca, Druidism, etc.), and homeschool, or are parents of grown-up children who 'graduated' from homeschooling. This list has been created to bring together Pagan Homeschooling parents who're *18 or above*. All styles of homeschooling are welcome, which is from one end of the spectrum (radical unschooling) to classroom style school-at-home. Your list-owners are Unschoolers (to know just how radical, you'll have to join) :) We live in the SW Missouri Ozarks.

Although this list is homeschooling in nature, that's not all we talk about :) In fact, it's for more than homeschool support, it's for life support. There is no topic that is forbidden. I abhor censorship, so language (strong or otherwise) is NOT censored. Basically, it's a list for homeschooling parents to talk to each other about whatever

P.s. This list is IncrediMail/HTML friendly – just so you know that you need to have your anti-virus software updated regularly while on this list – just in case :) *HOWEVER* your signature line can only have one 'blinky'. We have slow dial-up and can't handle *overly* heavy graphics in the emails.

You'll need to submit an introduction before I approve your membership request.

You need to submit your introduction within *14 days* of clicking 'Join This Group!' or sending an email to paganfredomschoolers-subscribe@yahoogroups.com, else you'll be denied (automatically by Yahoogroups). I really don't like that to happen!

{UPDATE} I have found it necessary to add one rule to the list: Please do not forward email to this list concerning virus warnings or any chain letter that you recieve in your email box, most of these are hoaxes and we have all seen them before. If the header on the email chain letter is as long as your arm, then chances are we have seen it a dozen or so times, and do not wish to see it again. Please do not forward anything to the list, unless you personally have checked with the authorities and know first-hand of its validity and are willing to provide proof to the members of the list of its reality. To assist you in checking out these things before you send them please visit this site first http://www.snopes.com - which is where everybody should always check before they forward emails that say 'urgent' 'true' 'i checked it myself' or 'wow, free money!' ;). Thank you for understanding.

There will not be any flaming allowed, I don't have time for it and will unsub you immediately. This is a friendly place for us to help each other.

In addition to this, the moderators have the option of placing members on moderated status without giving them notice for violating any of the group rules.

We know that homeschoolers feel a little 'different' to other families, especially here in Africa where we are still a rare, but rapidly multiplying breed!

Even in other countries, we, homeschoolers, stick out a bit from the other 'herds' as we strive for different outcomes for our little flock, than the rest.

Most of us are Christians and so we are reaching higher as we seek the Lord's instructions for building strong families and developing godly character in each individual's life.

Subscribe to our free, monthly ezine, Reaching Higher, for the top tips and juiciest leaves of the homeschooling cyberforest!

In other words, we'll be bringing you the best advice, articles, websites and encouragement we can to help you as you raise your young ones and build your family legacy!

We share ideas and provide support. We discuss day-to-day issues faced by homeschooling families, and answer questions about the curriculum. Many of the group members have been homeschooling for several years, and enjoy helping new homeschoolers. We also like to talk about our families and how well they are doing, and we strive to support and uplift members who need love and prayer from like-minded families.

Introductory information on the curriculum can be found at http://www.home-school.org and http://www.my.homewithgod.com/joyfullight/main.htm.

For detailed information or to purchase the curriculum, please visit http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com.

To prevent spam and trolling, the membership process includes a response step. When you ask to join the group, you will receive a membership request email. You must respond to the email, and be approved. As a group member, you agree to our specific guidelines for behavior and communication on the group.

Be aware that when you post a message, even though the membership is intended to be limited, it may be disseminated to many people outside the list. I.e., post only if you intend your views to potentially become public.

This list will take a serious look at the ways in which homeschooling, religious training, and family life shape our lives and the lives of our children. All are invited to share ideas, new web site discoveries, success and struggle stories, character education, favorite curriculum sources, influential books, experiences with distance learning, lessons you as a parent have learned, and the general daily life of homeschooling.

The Lord will intervene in our circumstances to solve the problems we cannot solve ourselves. When we ask for His help, then we have access to all the resources of heaven. It is not a teaching certificate, college degree, great patience, or expert communication skills that will carry us through to the end in our home schooling experience, but the help of the Lord.

This list is dedicated to parents teaching parents in the greatest and most eternal pursuit of all: raising our children to develop their hearts, minds, and talents in righteousness and faith.

The purpose of this group is to enable Catholic homeschoolers to network with each other. We use the word Catholic in it’s orthodox meaning (language taken from the Easter Vigil Liturgy of the 2004 Roman Missal): "those who believe and profess all that the Holy Catholic Church believes, teaches and proclaims to be revealed by God."

Members are free to use the group for any purpose not inconsistent with the Catholic faith or excessively commercial.

For entry to the group, adult members must believe and profess all elements of the most current version of the “PROFESSION OF FAITH and THE OATH OF FIDELITY” which is published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The current version is located at http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDFOATH.HTM and can also be viewed by clicking the Files link.

The list also acts as an educational resource center where we may share ideas, links, and resources related to education. We believe that learning outside of the public school system is a viable educational choice that is compatible with Unitarian Universalist philosophy, as well as with pagan,humanist,atheist,and theist beliefs and lifestyles.

This is not intended to be a general discussion list -- although questions and topic related discussions are welcomed and encouraged. But rather the list is intended to be quite focused on home education as it relates to our Unitarian Universalist principles and to liberal education as a whole.

This list operates on the UU principles centered-philosophy that we will always respect and honor one another, encourage and help one another,join our strengths to create a more just and open minded educational community and build a supportive online community that brings us comaraderie and opens our hearts and our minds in ways we hope our children's hearts and minds will always be open.

Here is a place for Muslim Homeschoolers that reside in the Western region of the United States to network and be support for one another. We encourage all Western Muslim Homeschoolers to join this effort. Even if only two Muslims join, there will still exist a sense of support that makes homeschooling feel less lonely and more enjoyable. All of the positive benefits of networking can help a parent achieve homeschooling success! Was Salaam Alaikum, Palmetto Muslim Homeschool Resource Network
