This list is a place of information sharing and encouragement for those parents who home educate their children in Tennessee.

In consideration of everyone’s time we ask that you comply with a few rules. What takes you a moment to comply with saves many times that amount of time for your fellow list members.

Please stay on topic (homeschooling and education in general).

Extend grace when reading and replying to posts. Not every post needs an immediate response or a response at all.

Verify or cite whatever information you share.

Please refrain from forwarding to the list what is essentially Internet junk mail (advertisements, cute stories or joke lists, requests for postcards for a class project, virus warnings and alerts).

VENDORS: Do not spam this list. Your post will be rejected and designated as spam to Yahoo. Local vendor-homeschoolers are given special consideration. Not sure about what to do? Ask TnHomeEd-owner@yahoogroups.com.

“Me too” posts are discouraged. Consider whether your post needs to be read by ALL the members of the list or should be sent to the individual instead.

Please snip unnecessary information from your replies and keep your signature to just a couple of lines.

This list will have a Christian flavor but intolerance of any religion or non-religion will not be allowed.

The list may occasionally be placed on moderation or require approval for membership. These are temporary changes. Posters who violate the above will be placed on moderation without notice.

TnHomeEd also hosts a Chat list which where the parameters are much wider and little is off topic. http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/TnHomeEd-Chat

At http://TnHomeEd.com, you'll find the law, umbrella schools, support groups, vendors, how to get started, a calendar of events and much more.
