Virtual homeschooling connection

[SoCal_Bear]

I'm a little hesistant to put this out here, but here I go.

If you are a Christian homeschooler and have felt like you and your family need a homeschooling community connection because you have felt alienated and isolated by your local homeschooling community, please PM me. I've seen your posts on various threads over these last two years, and my heart has been broken for you. I am reaching in Christian fellowship to my fellow homeschooling sisters (and brothers - the few on here). 

More information is available via PM, I am not comfortable posting personal information on a public forum.

More like the other way around.  We have been isolated and excluded by Christian homeschoolers because they were so "Christian".

It depends on geography, I think. Some places I tried we weren’t the right kind of Christian. A couple other groups we were too religious.  I never did find a good fit and that’s one reason my kids are in public school.

Mmmm hmmmm.   Or because you're the wrong kind of Christian, or you're a Christian but your spouse isn't, so your homeschool is more mixed than just Christian or secular/religion other than Christianity; or you're a Christian with the "wrong" political views;  or you aren't of the right educational philosophy; or you're a Christian tolerant of "wrong" lifestyles; or you're the wrong branch of Christianity; or...

She was right to be hesitant to post. If what she’s offering applies to you, PM her. If not, she’s not asking for people to attack her idea.

The point is people are hesitant to accept a solution if they're not getting a strong sense that  the person offering has an accurate sense of the problem. The vagueness of the original post raises eyebrows because it isn't clear that @calbear's virtual group will address any of the array of problems that cause people to disconnect from their local homeschool community groups.  We respondents are making it crystal clear what the problems are.  It's on the OP to clarify what her solution is that's different than the local groups that have failed provide adequate support. People have been burned.  They want to be avoid being burned again.
