If you homeschool, go and meet like-minded parents and kids. I sure wish something like this had been available way back  when I was homeschooling my kids! I think I was the only “oddball” in town at that time.

Did you know that Bonner County has a support group for homeschool parents and their children?

I didn’t, but I saw a notice at the Priest River Library and followed up with a visit to their website.

I sure wish something like this had existed when I started home schooling my kids – but that was a long time ago and it wasn’t a popular thing to do back then. I had a heck of a time trying to find out what curriculum I needed to follow – nobody could tell me, not even the teachers who were friendly toward the idea. They all said things like “It depends.”

I finally signed up with Calvert Schools in Maryland and got all the books sent in the mail. But now I see that the Bonner County Homeschool Group has curriculum posted on their site. They also have a link to the laws regarding home schooling, so that doesn’t have to be the confusing question that I faced.

You’ll find plenty of “good stuff” there – like links to more resources for parents and a schedule of their regular “Kid’s Day” get-togethers. Home schooling parents and kids no longer have to feel isolated.

If you teach your kids at home, check this out!
