Homeschool Family Postcards and More
This is a fun new group for Homeschooling families to exchange
monthly postcards, and/or greeting cards with other familles from
different areas. It can be a great Geography lesson! We have a penpal
database for kids, teens, and moms looking for a penpal. A state
envelope of information swap will also be starting soon.
In order to be a part of this group you MUST exchange a
postcard/greeting card each month. And you must follow through once
you sign up. We don't want any hurt children waiting for a card that
never arrives!Anyone who does not send out their card will be
unsubbed from the group. A card will be sent to anyone who doesn't
receive one from another family.
This will be fun for all involved!! This group is very organized and
so far we have had one very successful exchange. You choose a
family/state each month that you would like to receive a card from.
This way no one is receiving cards from the same place or their own
state over and over again. To join please go to;

I let this post through even though I learned (from experience and
participation) to distrust and to fear such exchanges.
It would be good if more people would see them as the math lessons they
really are.

Right.
And when I was on a list with several hundred families (some states had
nearly a hundred just from that one state--California and Texas), and I was either
the only or one of two from New Mexico, GUESS WHAT!?
LOTS of people in those states were going to be lacking a post card (and now
they're up to PACKETS!? ON REQUEST!?) from New Mexico. Either that, or I
would've been mailing out hundreds of post cards.
It's not going to work in the real world the way it sounds when someone just
says "Oooh, there are fifty states, and so everyone just has to send 49
things!"
Wrong-o
