Comments on: Local Homeschool Support Group http://123pizza.org/blog/2007/09/27/local-homeschool-support-group/ Life's a game. I'm making it up as I go. Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:53:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tammy http://123pizza.org/blog/2007/09/27/local-homeschool-support-group/comment-page-1/#comment-35 Tammy Sun, 30 Sep 2007 03:46:24 +0000 http://123pizza.org/blog/?p=33#comment-35 Man, sorry to hear about your experiences with your local group. You know, everyone has different kinds of social needs. That group would not fit my needs at all. But obviously, it fits theirs. There is *always* room for more support groups in a city, no matter how small it is. So, if you decide to homeschool, start your own group and create the atmosphere that you're looking for. People will come. There are probably other homeschoolers out there waiting for something different in your area. You might also consider joining a yahoo group for your state. It's a good way to meet local people who might be lurking and wanting to get together in a more inclusive atmosphere. Lastly, there's nothing saying that you have to belong to the local group. Online groups can provide just as much support as local ones, and you can spend your time with your friends who may not be homeschoolers, but support you as an individual, no matter what your choices. Good luck! Tammy Man, sorry to hear about your experiences with your local group.
