twoforjoy Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 We have a Facebook group for neighborhood parents. I just send out a message seeing if anybody else was homeschooling this year (I know that two people in the neighborhood are, and am guessing there are more), and if they were interested in meeting up once or twice a month for support, play, and maybe some trips (we're in a city, so we've got lots of places to visit nearby). Now I'm wondering if this was a mistake. Am I going to make the non-homeschooling parents upset? Does that seem like an exclusionary post? What do you think? FWIW I would love to get a neighborhood homeschool group going, because homeschooling is getting more popular in the city and all of the groups are in the suburbs. But now I'm just wondering if I should have posted something like that on a general parents' group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I think it's fine. Love the idea of a facebook group for neighborhood parents, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I wouldn't take it that way. I'd think you were trying to get together for an educational purpose and probably would meet during the day. So I wouldn't feel the exclusion that comes from not being preferred, but only the exclusion that comes from not sharing a purpose and not being available--and that kind of exclusion doesn't hurt.

Parrothead Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I don't think you did anything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS Mom in NC Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 No, it's not exclusionary. Anyone who decides to be upset about your post has a serious emotional problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
