What is LHN?
Lubbock Homeschool News (LHN) is a website and
Yahoo
group created
as an information clearinghouse for local homeschoolers. Think of
LHN as an interactive newsletter where homeschoolers
can find events, classes, teacher, tutors, and more.
LHN is not a
support group.
Who
can use LHN?
All homeschoolers are welcome to use this
website and
Yahoo
group, regardless of support group, religious, or homeschool
style affiliation. LHN is inclusive, free, and no membership is
required.
Why is there an LHN Yahoo group
when you have this website?
The
Yahoo
group includes MANY more updates
on upcoming events, resource websites, contests, scholarships, plus two
additional databases: employment opportunities for homeschool teens and
homeschool teens offering services, such as babysitting and computer
work. It's easier to post opportunities there than continually update major
portions of the website.
Why create LHN?
Aren't there enough groups already?
As a
homeschool mom, I’ve spent plenty of time trying to find teachers and
classes, and been frustrated with finding an efficient way to let other
homeschoolers know about the great opportunities available in the area.
I envision Lubbock Homeschool News as a "clearinghouse" of sorts, where
you can find out about any and all events, classes, and homeschool
support groups in the Lubbock area.
What can I contribute?
Please feel free to post the teachers and classes your students are
involved in -- music lessons, science, sports, etc, to the new Lubbock
Homeschool News Yahoo Group. Plus, ask any homeschool specialty teachers
you know to join the group and post their offerings.
I do ask that all
LHN Yahoo
Group members be homeschoolers or seriously considering homeschooling as
an option with their family. Teachers who are not homeschoolers can
have a parent/student recommend their information be posted to the list
and website.
Are there any restrictions to the
classes I can list?
All I ask is
that classes are not exclusive to one support group; in other words, you
are saying that you
allow any homeschooled student to attend your classes, regardless of whether they
belong to specific support group or not.
Due to email harvesting from websites, the
classes database is no longer published on this website. To
access this information please join the LHN Yahoo Group.the
Yahoo
group.
Is Lubbock
Homeschool News a support group?
Yes and no. LHN has no meetings, MNOs, a board
or administration, or the like.
For support-group-type issues, join a
local support group -- listed under
Homeschool Support Groups.
However, if you're looking for a one-stop solution where you can find
out what support organizations, classes, tutors, sports, etc., are
available in the Lubbock area or share what you know is coming
up/offered, LHN is your resource. And if you want to ask advice of
LHN Yahoo Group members, you are more than welcome to do so. It's
especially helpful to have feedback when looking for new classes and/or
teachers.
