What's the next best thing to an IRL homeschooling buddy? Why, a whole board of imaginary forum friends! I have found tremendous support and tapped into a vast fount of homeschooling knowledge through my own experience on the SL Forum, and I highly recommend at least browsing a favorite forum or two from time to time as a reminder that you are not alone, your children are not weird and yes, everyone gets a little stir-crazy from time to time.
Here are a list of a few forums recommended by some of my imaginary friends. :-) (Curriculum-specific forums noted with ***)
Sonlight Forums***--limited access to the general public, full access with subscription or purchase
WinterPromise Forums***--full public access
Homeschool Spot--small Christian forum
The Homeschool Library--large, free access board
Homeschool World--various topics
Homeschool.com--mid-sized forum with a used curricula board
VegSource Talk & Swap--mega board!
Clearly, this is not an exhaustive list of the forums out there. But it should get you started. Whet your appetite ... and make some new friends!
Forums are great resources! Love them!
