The Maryland Homeschool Hiking Club and the Maryland Homeschool Biking club are in need of coordinators for some parts  of Maryland. We are two separate clubs for  homeschoolers/unschoolers and their families in the state of Maryland and any areas close to Maryland. The bike club plans and participates many bike rides including overnights while the hiking club plans and participates in short hikes, long hikes, and sometimes overnights!

What a coordinator does is to set up bike rides or  hikes in your area, post them on the yahoo site, put them on our website, place an announcement in your local newspaper, and show up to lead the ride or  hike or designate a person to do that from your area. It is not hard at all. a little bit of time involved but not too much other than the biking or  hiking part.

We can have 1 or more per area…some of the larger  more populated areas will need more than one.
We need coordinators for the following areas:

Allegany County
Garrett County
Baltimore county and city
Southern Maryland
Eastern Shore areas
Harford County

This is an organization, newly founded by Earlene Sorrells ,assisted by her homeschooled son, Nathaniel Sorrells. It has been set up as an effort to help homeschool families  who are having a tough time, by other homeschoolers (in the same areas). Our projects are simple so that all children can get involved and gain a sense of helping others.

 We are looking for people in other areas to help by forming a local chapter group to  help homeschoolers in your areas. if you are interested in a group in your area. please email us.

Nous pouvons, depuis le 22 février dernier, lire le projet de décret concocté par l’Administration générale de l’Enseignement du Ministère de la Communauté française : Texte du projet de décret.

Plusieurs familles ont rapidement réagi, indignées par le contenu de ce document. Nous venons de créer une association (Apprendre en Famille), afin de pouvoir être enfin entendues par le ministère. 

Vous pouvez suivre, dans le dossier "actualités", nos tribulations … dont nos communiqués de presse et autres documents publiés.

Hi,

There are two websites now that are partly or entirely written in English:

• Life without School in Austria - Leben ohne Schule in Österreich

About home education in Austria in general, though the focus is on the child-led spectrum.

• Unschooling in Austria?
  

This blog is a mixture of glimpses into a family’s individual life and posts about countrywide issues.
