   Hi, All!
   
Since several people have asked about what home education mailing lists
there are I thought I'd post this. I probably do *not* know all that are
available, but these are the ones that I know of and what I know about
them.  (If my information is no longer current please let me know so I can
update my listing. Thanks!) 
   
   Home-Ed List
   Send the following command in email to
   "home-ed-request@world.std.com":
   subscribe
   This is probably one of the busiest lists anywhere. A digest form is
   available - subscribe, then follow the directions to change. Some
   people consider this "the" homeschooling list to be on.
   
   Unschooling List
   To subscribe to the Unschooling-list, send a message to
   majordomo@nilenet.com
   Leave the subject line blank.
   In the body of the message write: subscribe unschooling-list
   This is my personal favorite of all the lists. (The one I consider to
   be "the" list.) It's like a big crazy family, the best support group
   I've ever found. It doesn't always stay "on topic", and occassionally
   gets a little weird or even racy, but it's a great bunch of folks!

   HSTUAC (Homeschool: Train Up A CHild)
   Send the word "SUBSCRIBE" (no quotes) as the body of a mail message to
   HSTUAC-Request@vms1.cc.uop.edu.
   If you have trouble, please send mail to: HSTUAC-Owner@vms1.cc.uop.edu
   This will reach the lists owners. This description is from their
   welcome message: "This is a Christian Homeschooling discussion group,
   patterned after Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he
   should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." Although it
   will sometimes stray from
   the direct purpose, it usually never strays from our children's
   interests."
   
   Home-Ed-News List!
   Send the following command in email
   to"home-ed-news-request@listserv.prodigy.com":
   subscribe
   Sponsored by Prodigy. This description is from their welcome letter: "
   This unmoderated list is designed to serve as an avenue for online
   home educators to share news on a variety of homeschooling topics
   such as books, curricula, events, programs of interest and more.
   
   No Place Like Home (NEW)
   >From *your email address*, send email to Landry@premier.net and type
   SUBSCRIBE HOMESCHOOL NEWSLETTER in the subject and message areas. This
   is a
   weekly newsletter with a "question of the week" section, a "questions
   from
   subscribers" section, a "looking for curriculum" section, a "used
   curriculum
   to sell" section and a "business offerings" section. It's just
   starting
   out, but has started well and should grow. You can submit articles to
   be
   published or curriculum reviews as well.
   
   Home Ed Politics List
   Taking Children Seriously List
   
   Both of these I have misplaced the information for, but if you need it
   and
   can't find it (try Jon's Homeschooling Page on the web), email me and
   I'll
   look them up.
   
   There is a monthly (?) newsletter on AOL (Homeschool Cyber News), but
   I
   think it's just for aol subscribers. (I could check if anyone is
   intersted.)
   
   How's that for starters? :-D If you have information on one I don't
   have listed (or one of the ones that I lost the information for)
   please
   email it to me. I'm going to try to keep my list updated for future
   questions.
   
   See you on the lists!
