Welcome to the Ontario Federation of Teaching Parents' general e-mail list!

The purpose of this list is to discuss and share ideas and information about home based learning. This is where OFTP members discuss homeschooling issues that come up in their lives, make announcements about conferences or new support groups, mention resources and articles they come across, and ask questions related to homeschooling concerns such as dealing with school boards, legalities, etc. The list is also for general questions about OFTP and how members can help or be helped by the organization.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND VIRUS WARNINGS TO THIS LIST! More often than not the virus warning itself *IS* the virus.

This is a closed list open only to current members of OFTP. (Please send your full name when subscribing.)

Other OFTP e-lists are listed on the OFTP website at www.ontariohomeschool.org/oftpgroups.html, and include the OFTPEXEC list and the oftpchat list. The OFTP chat list is for chatting about anything that would be considered off-topic on the general list. The EXEC list is for communication among members of the OFTP executive, which is OFTP's decision-making body and is open to all members.

NEW! as of March 2006 - OFTPkids and OFTPteens e-lists for your homelearning children to connect with each other and share their ideas and interests! And FOPE, the e-list in French for our francophone members. Spread the word!
