Welcome to the Secular Homeschool Society

When Teri and I first started talking about starting this group it was with the idea that there should be a place where it didn't matter what your faith, teaching style, curriculum choices were, just that you homeschooled. We always felt that the home schooling community was split up into factions based upon these criteria and really we didn't fit neatly into any one of these boxes.

Aren't we basically all the same? We are all families exercising our right to teach our children according to our own beliefs. We should all be sticking together to protect that right.

Does it really matter what those beliefs are? I don't believe so (get it:D?)! If you believe you have the right to your own beliefs then you have to concede that same right to everyone else.

Why can't we all just get along? We are all homeschoolers who have strong ideals, and are highly motivated to take responsibility for our own children's education and future. We do not rely on anyone to do it for us but that doesn't mean we are alone.

So this group was founded on the principle of tolerance and respect for others choices regarding faith and the desire to teach secular siences, history etc. We wish everyone to feel welcome here, whatever your personal convictions.

Now you could just delve right in and start exploring but we advise you to read the rules first because the "I didn't know that wasn't allowed" excuse is not tolerated from our children and it isn't tolerated here. Can you tell we are around our children a lot lol? So rules are posted, if you are here and posting we will take it that you have read them.

We are glad you are here, we are glad you found us. So come on in the waters great, paddle at the edge or throw yourself in, you have found a bunch of new friends!
