I'm a member of a few Yahoo! groups, but I've never taken the time to explore the advanced features. This is a great overview.

We haven't decided whether we will continue homeschooling through high school, but I will be interested to learn from your experience. There is one national Yahoo Group for families homeschooling teens that you might want to check out: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/homeschool2college. Sandra Thanks!

I've seen all the features you talked about, but have never used any except what has to be done to submit an article to the STC group. I belong to two local homeschool Yahoo groups but don't find them very helpful because they are targeted to children younger than 11. My son is 13. Homeschooling a teen and preparing him or her for college is a different ball game. I don't know why, but when most people think of homeschooling they think it applies to elementary education only. You've got me thinking about starting my own homeschool group for teens in our area. I get a lot of odd looks when I tell people I homeschool my 13-year-old, like there must be something wrong with us. We didn't start homeschooling until my son was 11 and traditional school no longer worked for him. I'm a more than part-time tutor and many of my students are like my son in many ways - square pegs being forced into round holes with a whole slew of negative labels attached to them because they just don't fit. With the low self-esteem so many kids have in "the system" it makes me wonder how they manage to get into college and make a life for themselves at all. After observing all this for a couple of years now, I understand why so many employees hate their jobs. They are never taught to work in their strengths or that they should like or even love what they do for a living. All through school they were persistently drilled on their weaknesses. They associate work with pain and I think it's often because school was so painful for them. School is our first experience with work. Our parents also taught us that work was for making a living and you didn't have to like it. It was your duty to do your job and the company would take care of you. We all know that none of that's true. Thanks for the list of Yahoo groups related to homeschooling. As soon as I finish this comment I'm checking some of them out! Sherri Fantastic article!
