Be kind and respectful. It is easy to sit behind a keyboard and tear someone down in order to feel superior. Don’t do that. This is not the place for that. We are in this homeschool-life together, we are here to celebrate and encourage one another. Respectful disagreement is okay, but let’s show eachother some grace and remember what your momma taught you, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

These policies are subject to change at any time without notice.
