Wouldn't be that many people, but I have questions about DC-area experiences specifically. Thanks.

Jeff has addressed this before and has said the Schools General forum is sufficient for homeschool topics.

There are a million homeschooling networks out there, both on a national scale and a local one. There's no reason to recreate the wheel here.

I too was surprised that so many options and topics are represented here, and yet Home Schooling does not have its own thread.
I would love to see an area made for the Homeschooling DC Urban Moms and Dads, right there with Private, Public, etc... seems odd to count us out. We're aware of the Maryland blogs and forums, as well as the ones on the national scale (which don't have a subsection for DC), but we have specific DC things we'd like to talk about in the proper place: right here on the master forum for DC Urban Parents.

(I looked for the thread the Previous Poster mentioned, where "Jeff has addressed this before and has said the Schools General forum is sufficient for homeschool topics" but was unable to find it. Could you post a link for me to read his writing?)

It would be such an easy thing to do, to simply create another subsection.
Thank you!!

I typically add forums when demand for the forum is clear. The first step after creating a new forum is to move threads from other forums into the new forum. If I were to create a homeschooling forum now, there would be very few threads that I could move into it. To me, that reflects a lack of interest in the topic. As I have said previously, homeschoolers are welcome to post in the Schools and Education General Discussion forum. If/when I see that there is significant traffic, I will re-consider my reluctance to creating a forum.
