How does SCHA fit into the home schooling system?
SCHA provides home school families with support in the form of social and scholastic activities and materials.
- Many social and educational organizations allow the Homeschool Assn to pay a single admission or enrollment fee for the entire membership, thus significantly reducing the costs of gaining a quality education for any one member. Similar advantages are available with sharing the cost of materials, such as CDs, DVDs, books, etc.
- Contests, performances, fairs, bees, and the like are available for the homeschool youth.
The bylaws follow:
· Membership is currently free. Join through our website www.SCHA.5u.com or by calling 505-744-4005. The next meeting time and date is made available then. We are working on attendance by video or phone conferencing. Our Bylaws and Code of Ethics:
· Members decide on the events, dates, materials and locations.
· A facilitator will be chosen at the start of each meeting and decisions will be made by consensus.
· Children are welcome (that’s what it’s all about). Activities and refreshments will be provided. Meetings will be held at the Skate Zone until further notice.
· Ad hoc committees will form according to needs as recognized by members during a regularly scheduled meeting.
· Profanity and chemically altered state of consciousness will not be tolerated.
· Judgmental statements about types of homeschooling will not be tolerated, unless it is during one of the duly chosen activities by the membership, such as a debate about the pros and cons of each style.
· Advice is free. Any advice given during a meeting, lecture, or article is worth what you paid for it, usually given by non-professionals, so consider the source.
