How long have you been homeschooling?: Nine years

How many children are your homeschooling?: two

What is your best homeschooling advice for newbie home educators? Or, if you are a newbie homeschooler, what would you most like to learn about homeschooling?: Be prepared. Be creative. Have fun.

About Me:: I am the founding director of the National African-American Homeschoolers Alliance. I started NAAHA with my husband four years ago when I couldn't find anything on the Net to help me get started homeschooling my children. I thought it was time to get something started, and so I did.

Thank you for joining our network!

I LOVE This Community!

I cannot tell you all enough how much I absolutely love this community. When I put this site together a month ago I had no idea if people would like it or if anyone would even join. I am so happy 92 of you have joined the Black Homeschoolers Club thus far and have really made it your own.

Thank you for making thi…

At 11:38am on April 10th, 2008, Ezelle said…: I have a 16 y/o son that is struggling in his High School. Right now he's being Bullied and having money extorted from him. So he's been out of school the past three days afraid to go back to school. Is there anyway to homeschool him the remainder of the year????? I live in Maryland any help would be greatly appreciated.

For example like the Yahoo groups set-up and etc where emails are right there for you to read and you respond. Here you only get responses to a post you posted (if wanted) in your email.
So me honestly I sometimes forget about the group or forget to log on and read the post.
My humble opinion.

Peace

Also, posting is not very regular, so it's hard to feel as though it is a means of support--sort of feels like you peak in every now and then to find out what is going on with others.

I'm guilty of not posting often also--probably due to the fact that I'm a single parent homeschooler who also has to make a living, owns/moderates my own online group, moderates another online group, etc.

I'm not sure what the solution is but will think about it.

You are most assuredly correct. My current icon/avatar is Shirley Chisholm, a true maverick and trailblazer...much like many of the members of this online community.

Be well...

I don't know if you received an email for this, but my buddy is Patrick Goudeau. He's on Discovery Channels' FitTv, and I asked him if he could email you to offer his services as a fitness advisor on one of you websites.

He's a dynamic, and positive black male role model. He's been in the fitness community for years, and has won many awards and competitions. He's a really great guy, and would love to give his support to the community of black homeschoolers on health and fitness issues.

I hope that you will be willing to pick his brains for an interview, he's been looking for an opportunity to give back to our community in a positive way, and reach those who don't realize how health and fitness impact our lives.

He can be reached at www.patrickgoudeau.net. I hope that you will be able to get in touch with him, and he really wants to be able to help all of us maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Thanks,
Genia

I just want to say thanks also. I live in Louisville, Ky. Do you or anyone have any suggestions for pen-pals or local activities for an 11 year old female?

At 12:52pm on November 1st, 2007, LMJohnson said…: Hi Jennifer,

My husband and I were having a brief discussion about homeschooling and it being a grassroot movement. Nevertheless, do you have a general idea of number of black homeschoolers? Is this information being captured somewhere? If so, where?

Many thanks...and I too LOVE this community. Thanks again for starting it.
