SUMMARY:Can The Non-Religious Homeschool?
DESCRIPTION:Public school is the best way to edu­cate our chil­dren but there can be spe­cif­ic instances where it would be bet­ter to home­school. Secular peo­ple get ner­vous talk­ing about home­school­ing because reli­gious peo­ple have home­schooled the most. We will go over rea­sons you may want to home­school your sec­u­lar child. We will look at the require­ments for the state of Ohio and talk about sug­gest­ed cur­ricu­lum. Bring an open mind and your ques­tions to the dis­cus­sion \n\n\n\nWe will be in Meeting Room A \n\n\n\nThis meet­ing is FREE and open to the pub­lic
