New York Homeschools

When you join this group you agree to help encourage, inspire and support other homeschooling families.

Be kind, polite, inspirational and encouraging

No second chances.

That means respecting people’s feelings, privacy and right to make the best decisions possible.

If you are rude, disrespectful or spammy…you will be banned!

Provide genuine and helpful feedback and suggestions to others.

Ask questions & Give answers.

Be the kind of supportive friend that you want and need on your homeschooling journey.

Remember: We are all here to help each other…so give more than you take, please.

Share your thoughts and experiences because they are valuable to others.

No Ranting. No Name Calling. No Swearing.

We do not allow rants, calling people out or complaints around how someone chooses to homeschool.

That is their business. Not yours. Homeschooling looks different for everyone.

When you are wanting to reach out and voice your 2 cents, please Ask yourself: What you would need to hear if you were in that mom’s shoes? What did you wish you knew then that you know now?

Remember We Are All Different.

That is where our strength lies. This allows us to know that no matter what we are going through someone in this group has probably already gone through it, been there done that, and can encourage us by sharing their story.

Not every piece of advice, tip, tool etc offered is going to work for you. THAT IS OKAY. Take what you can, ignore the rest.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.

If you have a question about why your post was deleted, it’s because you broke the rules.

If you were removed from the group, it’s because you broke the rules.

If you want to know whether you can post something in the group.

**Note: These rules are subject to change without notice. It’s on you to keep up.**

There is also a closed group​ which means that although anyone can see who is a member of the group, they cannot see your posts unless they themselves are members of the group. We chose to also have a closed group because we want you to feel comfortable if there are posts you do not want the world to see there. You will not be able to share posts out of the closed group.
