To ensure privacy and the safety of our children, you must first become a member of BVHERO to join this Yahoo Group.

BVHERO is an inclusive home schooling support and resource group serving the greater Brandywine Valley area. We welcome families regardless of race, religion or educational philosophy. Please e-mail us at bvheroes@hotmail.com for membership information or to make arrangements to speak directly with a representative of our group. Or visit our website at: http://www.geocities.com/bvhero

As a group we meet year-round to chat, discuss goals and educational resources, and to support each other. Our on-line discussions center around local events, arranging local get-togethers and field trips, and sometimes Classical Education. When we gather together we discuss Classical Education in-depth, however we rarely do such discussions on-line. As a local Classically-Educating group this affords us the opportunity to get to know each other in person too.

This group is for those following the classical homeschooling education model, such as described in The Well Trained Mind (Jessie Wise and Susan Bauer) or in Teaching the Trivium (Bluedorn's) or similar method.

This group is open to families who are actively home educating children in grades K - 12. We are open to discussing issues of classical education with those who are considering classically homeschooling their children in the future, however our membership is for those families home educating their children in grades K-12. This forum is a means for us to exchange homeschooling information and ideas, upcoming local events and opportunities, and resources in support of our common effort to provide a classical education for our children.

You will need to introduce yourself to the moderators before being approved for membership. After approval, you will be asked to introduce yourself to the group as well.

Members are required to attended a mom's meeting during the year, or respond to a request for assistance at least once during a 3 month period to maintain their membership in this Yahoo group. Lurkers are not permitted.

We are a diverse group, homeschooling preschoolers through teens, and doing so for a variety of reasons. We do not require a statement of faith to take part, nor do we take an official stand on curriculum, umbrella schools, unschooling or other personal choices. Neither do we permit arguments about these choices on the list.

For those parents, students, family members, teachers, & others who are merely curious, we extend a warm welcome. We're a small state & a small group, but we'll try to answer your questions. We hope you'll join us!

This list is an unmoderated networking and information-sharing tool. Because this list is open, we are a very diverse group. Opinions expressed on this list belong to the authors.

BIG WARNING! Please do not depend on others to find every piece of legislation that may usurp our freedoms! Each person is responsible for searching LIS for pending legislation and for communicating their own opinions to legislators.

When searching for new legislation that might affect parent's rights, remember that DOE uses DSS to enforce education laws. Therefore, it is wise to include broad search terms, such as "education" and "school," in addition to narrow terms, such as "homeschool," and "home school." Be prepared for a large volume of education-related legislation.

You are welcome to join us to discuss homeschooling, unschooling, as well as parenting issues and rearing children in Pagan or nature-based belief systems.

New members are moderated for the first few messages to ensure no spamming or advertising, and to help keep our group "clean". This is a family-oriented group! Also, you are welcome to post your own products or arts and crafts for sale, parties (such as Tupperware, Mary Kay, etc.).
