Schooling confuses teaching with learning, grade advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new. |

Starting a New Support Group |
|
One of the most persistent criticisms of homeschooling is that the children will have no social life. Though homeschooling parents may know better, many parents are more secure knowing a number of other homeschoolers in their area so children can get together with other kids who are being homeschooled. You may find, however, that there is no group in your area. As you (and any interested parents you may know) consider forming a group, you may want to consider some questions first. |
