E-MAIL
DISCUSSION LISTS
There
are several good regional and statewide e-lists for homeschoolers
throughout the state of Indiana. Because of the always changing
nature of many lists, it's hard to keep up with them. If you are
interested in finding a more specific or focused e-list, we suggest
you search YahooGroups.
You might also want to ask around on the IndianaHomeschoolers
List for recommendations. IndianaHomeschoolers is the largest
networking e-list in the state, and the best place to find answers
to most all homeschooling questions.

A Charlotte Mason discussion group meets on available Thursdays

when the library is available. Email above contact to find out
if a specific Thursday is a meeting day. Check the weather, and
if school or other events in the area are canceled, this will
be as well. The Rensselaer Public Library is located on Susan
and North Van Rensselaer road, about three blocks north of the
Courthouse. Rensselaer is on I-65, about 40 minutes north of Lafayette,
90 miles south of Chicago. It's also on S.R. 231 and S.R. 114.

Phone: 219.987.4300
Web Site: http://freegedhelp.blogspot.com
Comments: The Demotte Adult
Learning Center has moved from the Demotte Public Library to the
Sheriff's Annex on Route 10 in Demotte. We provide free GED help
to anyone who is 16 years and older and not enrolled in public
school. We also meet in Wheatfield on Wednesdays at the Wheatfield
Public Library. Registration is open all school year. There is
no fee for registration, instruction, or materials.
[Editor's Note: Homeschoolers,
while not enrolled in public school, are enrolled in private schools,
from which they receive valid graduating diplomas from their teachers,
usually the parent(s). Homeschoolers do not need to take the GED
in order to go to college or apply for a job.]
