    Hi everyone! I am a college sophomore who was homeschooled through 8th grade. I’m conducting a research project about baby care in homeschooling families, and thought this website would be a great resource. If you have the time, please take a minute to fill out my survey. You don’t need to enter any personal information other than your state (which is optional). I would also be very glad to see any additional thoughts/comments you have on the subject, so feel free to post them below. Thanks!

    EDIT: It seems like I'm not allowed to post a link because I'm new. :cry: Is there any chance someone could post the link for me if I send it to them via email? I would be very grateful.

    I'd be willing to take a look at what you have, and probably post the link for you (unless I found something glaringly wrong about it, or got a sense of something "not right" with it.) Send me a PM, and see if you can put the link into that. If not, I'll try to send you an e-mail and we'll do it that way.

    We made one small change. The original survey asked for you to include your zip code (optional). I felt that this information was to specific to give out to someone we don't know. So the question was changed for you to list your state instead. Again, this is optional. All in all, the survey is very general. If anyone wants to help out Collegekid on his survey, here's the link.

    OK, let's try this again! I edited this, so hopefully it will take you where you want to go. (I did this because DaLynn said it wasn't working...see next post!)

    Jackie - that link doesn't take me to the survey. It takes me to a page that wants me to sign up for the surveymonkey site. Do we have to sign up at the site to take the survey?

    Thanks for reviewing for us!

    I think I see the problem. if you look at the link there is a part where it goes

    s...E

    instead of that it should go

    sm=M1nL91vhwtRFgvinE

    And the blank spaces near the end are underscores "_". That should take you to the right place. I feel so bad that this is getting so complicated, but I really could use all the pollsters I can get. Your opinions are so valuable!
    Thanks again!

    Yes, that worked. It won't let me do it here without the ... there.

    FYI everyone - make sure the "s" at the beginning and the "E" at the end are only there once and not twice. It worked for me.

    FYI for you, collegekid - I don't have any kids in diapers but my youngest is young to already be trained. (He won't be three until August and he's been trained for around 8 months now.) SO I went ahead and filled out your survey since he's probably the same age as other moms, and it's not been that long either. LOL

    Hope you can get plenty of input!

    That's fine. The survey is for homeschooling moms, regardless of how recently their kids were in diapers.

    Hmm, it did it again. There must be a character limit. Perhaps if you posted it as a hyper link it would work. Just type some text (such as "click here"), highlight it, click the hyperlink button (the globe with the chain link) and enter the address in the box that pops up.

    People can always PM me asking for the link, because I can send them in PMs.

    Jackie, you've been awesome. Thanks again.

    Sorry to double post, but I had a great idea.
    I gave the survey link to my mom to put out on her e-mail group, and it more than tripled my results! I any of you belong to a homeschooling e-mail group and would be so kind as to send it to the other members, I'm sure it would increase my responses all the more.
    If even one of you would do this, it would have a great impact.
    Thanks!

    What are you going to do with this information you obtain?
