When I take the time to evaluate my online activity (and believe me, that's no small task - - they don't call me Topsy-TECHIE for nuttin'!!) I'm kind of flabbergasted by how much of it involves homeschoolers and homeschooling. Between Facebook, forums, email groups, and blogs, probably 75% of my web surfing involves home education in one way or another. This kind of fascinates me because I definitely am an eclectic person with a plethora of interests and hobbies, yet a LOT my time is spent reaching out and connecting with other homeschoolers.
While plenty of people are quick to share their concerns about the socialization of homeschooled students, they don't often include the homeschooling parent in that equation. But in my experience, it is often the parent who is most in need of a listening ear and a bit of encouraging advice. They need to find others who have either traveled the same road, or at least others who are in the midst of the same journey.

In the United States, homeschool laws are determined by each state, individually. You can become an active member of YOUR states's homeschool support group to learn how experienced homeschoolers near you fulfill the various requirements.
Connect with local homeschooling families. Share information about educational resources near you. Be reminded about upcoming homeschool conventions, or locate a support group in your town.
Are you considering a move? Visit the state homeschool forums to get a feel for the homeschool "climate" in the state you are considering!
The State by State Homeschool Parenting Support Group Forum is a great place to discuss state-specific issues, or any other topics of interest to homeschool families. Stop by and introduce yourself today!
Members frequently wish for electives with a Time4Learning "flavor" to add to the core Time4Learning program. Upper level students now have an exciting option for ART!
Your upper level student will notice a fresh, new login page, with the ability to customize the color and options that encourage older students to become more independent. These include access to the lesson plans and program hints.
