It carries over into recess, where the laughing and ridicule make each new...

Homeschooling Because of Health problems? » How to Get Started ...

A growing number of homeschool families would certainly be perfectly pleased with their local public school, but they are not able to attend or are encumbered by public school regulations related to health issues. Attendance requirements are part of public schools, and when health challenges for college students prevent them from meeting local attendance requirements, often there are few choices to the household.

Yahoo groups for Buying/Selling Curriculum

In my last article I briefly mentioned that Yahoo groups were an excellent place to buy/sell curriculum. I soon realized that a brief mention really didn’t begin to paint an accurate picture, so in this article I’m going to be a little more specific.

You will need a Yahoo account (free) to join a Yahoo group (Yahoo groups homepage). Most groups are moderated because of the huge amounts of spam, so you will have to apply for membership.

First, try to decide if you are looking for a specific...
