Question:
Whats the netgroup policy of listing homeschool supplies for sale?
Answer:
-What state do you live in? Many local groups and state organizations have
places for the sale and purchase of used curriculum. It is around this time
of year that I see many used book fairs going on. Some groups even have
email lists specifically for selling or buying used curriculum. Craig's List
and EBay also have active used homeschool curriculum boards.
-Good place to do that is here:

Click the appropriate links under "Swap Boards".
I know it might sound odd to sell homeschooling books at a vegetarian site
but it's the hot spot to sell and buy. Daughter has sold a lot of her
school books there.
-Homeskoolas post a whole lot of crap here. Why not a list! It will be fun
critiquing the crap you use to "teech kiddies" - stuff from the unaccredited
Bob Jones Uni or Pensacola Christian College ....and creationist crap ....
stuff no professional educator would touch with a ten foot pole.
Do you have a copy of the crappy Robinson Self-Teaching Home School
Curriculum???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Robinson Self-Teaching Home School Curriculum
- TOTALLY dependent upon good literacy skills to begin with.
- Lock-step without any deviation from the program.
- 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica used - outdated and too complicated for
younger readers
- 1913 Webster's Dictionary used - outdated and too complicated for younger
readers
- Science texts instead of hands on experimentation and disvcovery learning.
- Original King James Version of the Bible - outdated and language too
complicated for any child of any age
- Phonics only without the addition of whole language approach, etc.
- Claims to be "self-teaching" but pupils require interaction with at least
one other person - a teacher.
This "box:" is the lazy person's way of homeschooling and not worth the
money you will outlay for it.
