Usually I see so many responses of advice and help but there haven't been many responses to the thread I started about the mama who needs links about homeschooling. Many peple have looked but there are only 2 replys and neither provided any links for her. If the topic is religion or vaccination or some other hot topic, everyone wants to give their :2cents: but a request for information on homeschooling and everyone stays silent? :headscratch: What is wrong? I'm not trying to bash anyone, I just thought that this was the place for helpful information and I am disappointed that I didn't get any to pass along.

I am sorry I can't help you on it maybe you could try a google search and gather some info you feel insightful for her? I hoverd over that thread but I didn't go in it.
I am sorry you feel that way.
You would think that since there is a WHOLE forum for that subject you would get a answer huh?

I'm sorry you feel that way too. I also read your other thread but I really couldn't think of anything that would help you. Most of what I read before deciding to homeschool were books on the subject and truth be told, I don't really remember the names of most of them (mind you I read them almost 8 years ago now). The only one I still remember the name of is the only one I didn't sell because I still use it which is The Well Trained Mind, which isn't a book I recommend to just any new or potential homeschooler. I usually only recommend it to someone looking specifically for a classical approach. Like the previous poster suggested, maybe a google search would yeild better results.
I hope you find what you are looking for....

I do not do homeschool but I did google and I did find some links with what I thought is good info. hopefully some of it will work for you. :thumbsup:
I'm not sure what kind of links are you looking for as I did not see the OP.
This one is really helpful~ http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/
If you are looking for more then that, poke around the link pages here~http://groups.msn.com/RestRefreshmentHomeschoolingwaSpirit-FilledLife
And there is always~ homeschooloasis.com
I hope that helps. My computer time is limited and I am still finding my way around this wonderful group. I don't see all the posts. But I do try my best to help out when I can.
HTH!

Did you se the sticky at the top of this forum with helpful HS links?
Try not to take it personally. It takes extra time and effort to reply to a post where you have to add links, so maybe it's just that the HS moms haven't had the time to do that yet. And try to ignore the "read" colum. I think a lot of people read for curiosity, but don't have anything to input. It's not anything to get worked up about ((HUGS))

Thank you. :hugs: I will take a look at the links. I am glad to hear that people aren't responding because they don't know of any links. I jumped to some conclusions from the replys that I did recieve. :blush: I thought alot of people just didn't want to give the info. My faith is renewed. :hugegrin: Thanks mamas for all your help. I am glad I started this thread so my ignorance could be revealed! :laugh: Jumping to conclusions never helped anyone right!? I do hope I didn't offend anyone though, it was not my intention. :goodvibes:

:banghead: :banghead: I forgot it was there! Like I said, I am glad my ignorance is reavealed so I can learn something. :lostit: I didn't even think about most of the other factors because i did get offended at the replys I got. :o:hide:

I didn't read the other thread. My reason was... its a very personal choice, AND mostly, I deleted ALL my HS links. I HS- but my printer has issues nd many were for printables. The other reason is I HATE broken links and the personal pages break a lot. Plus I find I need *new* info every 2 months or so as their skills develop. Mostly though my links are chaotic and disorganized to the point that its EASIER for me to just re-google it :blush: Also this is a busy time of year for most HSers. ((hugs)) sorry we weren't as useful as we could be.
