Starting
a Local Homeschool Support Group
by
Shauna Smith Duty
When
my husband and I decided to homeschool our children,
I was worried about not being able to provide
enough socialization. I live in Roanoke, Texas,
a small suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth,
and the few homeschooling moms I knew drove miles
for park days, field trips, and special events.
I hate driving to the grocery store, so this routine
did not appeal to me. There had to be enough local
homeschooling families to support activities close
to home. Besides, how could my family forge strong
relationships with people half way across the
metroplex? The distance would prohibit last minute
play dates and impromptu sleepovers -- fun parts
of childhood friendships. We needed to connect
and socialize with homeschoolers in our area.
I wanted a local group.
So I started one.
