Why thank you Michael!

Unfortunately though, as Janye points out in another thread, I'm no longer a
homeschooler. Still involved in education part time (both as a trainer and
on the local school council) but that's not why I hang out "in here". I
just like the chatter ...... Smile

If I want advice on education I'd probably go talk to one of the
professional educators that I work with, strangely they don't act like the
resident troll!

You already have a MODERATED group, Jayne, but IT DIDN'T WORK!!!

You have the educationally ignorant sharing educationally ignorant material
with other educationally ignorant people. Qualified professional educators,
such as myself, are banned from the site. Wouldn't want rational debate on
EDUCATION, would we?

THE REASON FOR http://www.meh-sc.org/:

In the past, the Usenet newsgroup misc.education.home-school.christian was a
dreadful place for anyone interested in education, Trew Kristyun homeskoolas
discussed sundry topics unrelated related to the educational practice of
home schooling and called professional educators "trolls".

As a result of the inability of these brain-dead Trew Kriustyun homeskoolas
to look at educational issues via reflective praxis and their refusal to
engage in educational debate, the meh-sc newsgroup became less and less
useful as a place for good information or discussion

These brain-dead Trew Kristyun homeskoolas desired an exclusive forum
without the challenge from professional educators who posed questions that
they could not answer.
