Online Support for Homeschooling
Volume 65, Program 4
1/19/2006
Original airdate: December 5, 2002
The fact that homeschoolers tend to band together contributes to the
success of the movement. Today on "Home School Heartbeat", Mike Smith
talks about how the Internet contributes to the homeschool sense of
community.
Mike Smith:
In the early days of the homeschool movement, many homeschooling
parents felt isolated from the world around them. As homeschooling
grew and the numbers of homeschoolers increased, fewer and fewer
parents started homeschooling feeling so cut off. Now, with the
Internet available to anyone with a computer and phone line, no one
homeschooler need ever feel isolated again.
Online message boards and discussion groups are available for parents
to post their questions about homeschooling. There are many friendly
moms out there happy to answer questions from homeschool beginners.
Chat rooms are available for real-time discussions of issues
surrounding homeschooling. Many homeschoolers, especially those in
more rural areas, rely on these online support groups for advice and
encouragement. If no one in your local group of homeschooling is
facing the same sort of educational problems or issues that you are,
you might just find a friend online.
If you're new to the Internet, be sure to check out a few websites
dealing with Internet safety. That way, you can enjoy the fellowship
of other homeschoolers while protecting yourself against online
troubles.
You may find that online discussions with other homeschoolers are a
great way to get ideas for your own homeschool program.
And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
