Carrie12345 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 are you prepared to put your money where your mouth is, metaphorically and/or literally? I'm completely willing to bust my hump to see it happen. But I'm pretty sure my hump isn't big enough to get it done alone. Surely a bunch of WTM'ers are capable of something like that! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I attended the GHC. I purchased from Geo-Matters, Rainbow Resource, Math U See, Einstein's Insomnia, PHP, Analytical Grammar and others. I should note that KH's facebook has a photo of John Holt's Biology book as an example of books "infiltrating" the community. I purchased the homeschool set from RR (online, not at the conference though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 You guys all rock! My mind is a bit fried after trying to brainstorm during baseball practice in a gym full of tween boys while wrangling the 4 youngest, so I'm going to try to turn it off for the night. I just wanted to say I'm going to try to get out to set up a separate bank account to connect to a paypal account for anyone who is interested and able to kick in whatever. This way I don't have to attempt to untangle anything if we can turn this into something big. But I have to be around to sign for my Droid tomorrow :D, so I don't know if the bank will still be open. But it's coming.

Jenny in Florida Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm a total failure at managing people and planning such things. The phobia of making phone calls doesn't help the situation. However, I'm great at showing up, and I can usually be counted on to bring food. So, if this were to happen at a time and place I could get to, I'd definitely want to attend and help in some way. I'll also happily kick in a few bucks to get the website up and running. Edit: Also, I'm in Central Florida, but I've been making the 26-hour round trip to VA and back about 10 times a year for the last four. So, I'm not afraid of driving!

Guest Dulcimeramy Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 We need articles for the website, pronto. Articles about homeschooling and education and not about fear or particular lifestyles. Joyful, smart articles, sorted by category. If we can't write these articles in a hurry, maybe someone could find something good and non-polarizing that someone else has written and get their permission to use it. We want good, strong articles that define what it means to be "inclusive." 1. "Inclusive" does not mean: Here is a statement of faith and only those who sign it get to talk. 2. "Inclusive" does not mean: You can come but understand that you are our mission field. 3. "Inclusive" does not mean: Secular. No religious talk allowed. 4. "Inclusive" does not mean: These books/these goals/these methods only. You can stay if you are different but expect to be marginalized. 5. "Inclusive" does not mean: Unschooling dominates. Don't bring that Latin here unless you want to be called draconian. 6. "Inclusive" does not mean: We allow some religion here but only protestant Christian. Catholics, Muslims, Mormons, Buddhists, and pagans need not apply. We're fairly comfortable with Baptists. 7. "Inclusive" does not mean: Anything goes as long as you are homeschooling all of your children. If one of your kids goes to public school, you are not our type. Inclusive does mean that I am a homeschooler and so are you, and we're both grownups, so, theoretically, at least, we can talk to each other. I'm homeschooling my kids only and you are doing the same. I'm not afraid of you and you're not afraid of me. We are different, but we are......friends. Or something like that. I'm also thinking of methodology and theory that can be of interest to a wide range of homeschoolers. Want to help me make a list? It can be curriculum, too, if it is from someplace like PHP that has tried to make the work accessible to many. Here's my starter list of topics: Classical Unschooling Latin and Greek Great Books Charlotte Mason High School Stuff (transcripts, etc.) Phonics and Spelling Math, Math, Math, Math, Math Homeschooling Gifted Children Homeschooling Children with Learning Differences Homeschooling in Varied Circumstances and Locations I hope these ideas will spur the smarter people here to greater thoughts.

Guest Dulcimeramy Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Carrie, what do you have in mind for the website? Am I barking up the wrong tree with thinking that articles are a good start? I was thinking of quotable people who might be interested in contributing their awesome articles. Carolyn Morrison of Guilt Free Homeschooling. Veteran hs'er, knowledgeable about learning styles and info for beginners Karen Campbell of thatmom.com for a gentle and open Christian perspective (and she knows the fight going on like the back of her hand) Michael Clay Thompson likes gifted homeschoolers and has some awesome articles at RFWP. If we twist her arm or offer her chocolate, we can maybe get our own WTM boardie Elizabeth to contribute something about phonics and reading. I'd love to see a mix of religions, methods and ideologies from people who all understand what we're trying to do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm working on what I hope may turn into a book about homeschooling on the cheap. The backbone of the book is several "rules" for how to obtain whatever materials you want, to use for whatever educational philosophy you choose, inexpensively. I'd be happy to re-work what I think may be the introduction into an article, if that would be of interest to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is going to be at the wheel? (I think this forum works so well in LARGE part b/c SWB is a graceful host - plain and simple!:D) So, are meeting a political need (continuing homeschool freedom..yes)? Practical for those of us in the trenches (please let this be "yes":001_smile:)? Is this going to be a central informational site? (with links to local HS support and resources) A supporter site for Inclusive Homeschool Conventions? A support group for individuals (which I think would conflict with this forum...or maybe not...)? A place to read "how to" articles on specific topics...like a magazine? All or some of the above? Something else? I like Dulcimeramy's list of what it means (and does not mean) to be inclusive.

katilac Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 What is the main purpose of the website?:bigear: It has to fill a need we don't meet by chatting it up here... I think the main purpose should be to support inclusive homeschooling (the idea that homeschooling has many faces and many voices). The purpose can be put into action in various ways. I think that the mere existence of a site promoting the idea would be wonderful, even it begins as a simple listing of resources, articles, and links. What about a "How We Homeschool" section? People could write about what homeschooling looks like for them. Adding photos would be all the better. We could get a great variety just from here, I'm sure. Because people would write their own submissions, it could be a great way to quickly get good content that serves the core purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
