All Austin, Texas Area homeschool families who have been inspired by The Well-Trained Mind by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer are welcome to discuss issues involving homeschooling our children in the classical method. Discussions involving the use of the Charlotte Mason method and other classical interpreters are also highly encouraged.

All ages from infants to veteran homeschoolers in the midst of the grammar, logic or rhetoric stages are encouraged to join us, as are all faiths. We are an inclusive group.

Local Austin home business spam that benefits parenting and home-educating is allowed, though it may be forbidden at the moderator's discretion.

Please restrict your discussion to homeschooling, and no flaming will be tolerated. We are a support group only. Everyone has something to share -- you don't have to be a veteran to support your fellow homeschoolers. If you have knowledge let others light their candles by it. The political, religious, and philosophical diversity of this list keeps it interesting -- treating each other with respect keeps the list enjoyable. Together we shall light a candle of understanding in our hearts which shall not be put out.
