hi,
I was wondering if there's any homeschooling / unschooling community in North Shore who do things/learning together or just get-together for fun... I would like to come and meet people who are similarly to us not happy with the public system... and ask my - probably very basic - questions... or just sit quitely and observe...
we have an almost 6 years old daughter and thinking about homeschooling (among other options)
thanks,
krysta
