      AussieHomeschool Closing Down   11/14/2019

      All good things must come to an end and AussieHomeschool is no different. It is with much sadness yet even more necessity that this must be so.   As of Sunday evening, 17/11/2019 the Discussion Forums will close. The Classifieds, for now although not indeterminate, will continue as is.       Why is this happening now? In all honesty, it probably should have happened many years ago but I created this forum, which originally a homeschool classifieds forum for Aussies, about 20 years or so ago. I, along with others for whom I am gratefully indebted to, have spent many, many hours sweating, laughing, praying, crying, writing, apologising, pleading and speaking about this wonderful place. In this day and age of Social Media, along with our ages and therefore differernt stages of life, it is simply not viable in any way for it to continue. You may think differently and that's okay - you honestly have to have lived through some of the dramas and learning opportunities that we all have to truly appreciate why we have the standards that we do - they were borne out of necessity and not undertaken lightly. Much blood, sweat and tears have been spilt over this place. Even more friendships, learning, debate, love, prayer and great times have been had becuase of AussieHomeschool. No one could ever be more thankful for it than I.

      I understand you may feel frustration or even anger and for that I apologise, I feel you. But now it is YOUR time to go out and spread the word of home education and its benefits. Share YOUR story, tell those you know and don't know about homeschooling and what is has done for your family.   On behalf of John (my long suffering and patient husband), myself and the ENTIRE moderating team over the many years - I THANK YOU and WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVOURS.   God Bless, Susan (HomeGrownKids /  AussieHomeschool)

Private Messaging Etiquette & Guidelines

Private Message is a way to correspond with an individual member without publicly displaying your conversation. Private Messages are private & confidential conversations between two members.

To maintain privacy:

1. Don't forward another person's PM onto another member or some other third party.

2. If you receive a general forward or article be aware that these are usually covered by copyright and should not be passed around via PM.

How to deal with unwanted Private Messages

1. Ask the member to stop PMing you. If they are seeking off-topic counsel refer them to a face-to-face counselor such as their local pastor.

2. Ignore any further PMs from that member

3. If the member persists in PMing you please notify a moderator.

The Discussion Forum is non commercial...not the place for businesses or vendors to advertise or promote their resources. If you receive an unsolicited PM that does not uphold these guidelines, please inform a moderator/administrator.
