I don't know how many of you are aware of/associated with the HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association), but their website is a great place to keep track of Homeschoolers in the news (good and bad). http://www.hslda.org/docs/news/hslda/200502/200502080.asp
Thanks! I'd say that most of us belong to HSLDA and are always encouraging newbies to consider joining. Would you believe I actually encouraged a friend NOT to join the other day? That's because she's planning on starting with her 5YO son in the fall, and thought she'd join HSLDA NOW. If she waits until she joins our state organization in a few weeks and THEN joins HSLDA, she gets a 10% savings. So I figured she'd be better off waiting a bit! But there's no doubt in my mind that it's money well-spent.
