<< I would have to disagree with you on this one. HSLDA, tries to "see things
coming". They have done a great deal of good for homeschoolers. The truth is,
in many cases, we should be thanking them. They aren't afraid to get their
hands dirty for us. For instance they are right now fighting quite hard for
FLORIDA parents... not just homeschoolers. There is currently a bill waiting
for Gov. Bush to sign or veto, well known for being the "Government Nanny"
bill. It is quite a scary thing that is in the balance. Anyone of you in
Florida, should be aware of this one. Let's just say that if this bill
passes, life for families in Florida will never be the same again. >>

I AM in Florida Rebecca. I don't think you have researched HSLDA very well if
you think they give a damn about you as an unschooler.
They'll hang you out to dry faster than any government body.
They've done more damage than good to the homeschool "movement".....(insert
gag reflex here).
Please learn more about this group and the damage they've done...plus their
motivation for getting everyone riled up before you bring this type of stuff
here.
We're all very aware of HSLDA and their scare tactics. Also of their origins,
the people they've stepped on along the way, and the damage they've done.
Not to mention the damning of unschoolers.
