Wyndie Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 What accountability group do you use and why? I have been using a free one because it was well... free. I am thinking of changing and have gotten a few recommendations from my friends locally but wanted more options. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan in SC Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I use Grace Homeschool Association out of Florence. When I started, it was the one my cousin used, so I really don't have a great why! They have been very helpful, though. A couple of my children have been in and out of ps and Grace has really helped me with attendance and explaining things to the ps. They only require the names and grades for your dc and then you check 180 days of school on a single sheet for your entire family. I think they have other services, but I haven't used them. Also, I don't live near Florence. You may choose any group in the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in SC Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 We've used PHA (Palmetto Homeschool Association) for the past 3 years, and we've been happy with it. We fill out 2 simple forms per year and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndie Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thank you both; I had heard of Grace but couldn't remember the Palmetto one so I will check that one out again. I have to say Grace site is a little confusing to me... or maybe I should try to look at it when there aren't children around. That tends to affect my ability to focus. lol Any other good recommendations? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scmama Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I use The South Carolina Homeschool Accountability Association. (http://www.tschaa.com) I needed something at the end of the year that was cheap and affordable. I'm trying again for one more year to see how it goes, just to give them the right amount of trial time. It's $10 for the entire family, and just 2 simple forms to fill out, 1 at the beginning, and 1 at the end of the year. Good luck finding one that you like. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndie Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Just realized I didn't respond. Thank you for your suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonkelley Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 When I lived in SC, I used Homeward Education Association 6 Professional Court Sumter, SC 29150 rachelward@homewarded.com 803.469.4927 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndie Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Thank you. :) I decided to go with Grace b/c of the tremendous support they offer; plus if you register early for following years, it's $20.00 cheaper. They speak my language. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnlvr Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Just a heads-up about tschaa. I joined them on February 25th, 2011. Their website says that I would have my membership in hand in 7-10 business days. After receiving nothing, I contacted them. I have yet to receive ANY membership acceptance or IDs. I emailed (twice), contacted them via their website (twice), and phoned (3 times). No response. Today is March 21, 2011. I understand that things happen in life, etc, but this is NO way to run a business. DO NOT JOIN TSCHAA!!! The website to avoid is: http://www.tschaa.com I am telling anyone who will listen. I am reporting them to the BBB and filing a complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndie Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Oh yuck! That just stinks big. Thanks for the warning and I'm sorry you've lost some money to them. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnlvr Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thanks, Wyndie. I hate it for my little one, who now has to wait even longer for me to pull him from ps to homeschool! He is chomping at the bit. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
