Homeschoolers List is a networking list for homeschoolers in the state of Indiana. It is intended to link individual homeschoolers and provide information about support groups, activities, legal issues, and homeschooling news in general in the state. This is an inclusive list, open to homeschoolers of any religious belief or none, and any style of homeschooling. This is a very active list which includes a lot of extraneous information--heartwarming stories, political discussion, recipes, etc. For a more focused group, try the Indiana Homeschooling Only: An e-mail loop for Indiana Homeschoolers who want to post ONLY information about homeschooling, with particular emphasis on homeschooling in Indiana. Information on the politics of homeschooling (not general political talk); how to's; events; resources; support for members in need; all of this is
welcome. | How you may feel some days: a cartoon.
More online support: a bulletin board for homescoolers in Indiana, of all methods and philosophies. Also, a listing e-mail lists of various kinds for homeschoolers (special interest groups such as particular philosophies or religions or methods)--very helpful.
