E-Mail Loops and Listservs

Albert Einstein once said:

"It is... nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wreak and ruin. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty."

The following are e-mail loops and listservs that are available to home educators in our area. To join, you will need to contact the individual loop moderators.

Please check back shortly, as loop descriptions and contact information will be added... If you are aware of any listservs that are not listed here, please e-mail Michelle at greatsites@artistictech.com.

Open mailbox with mail coming out and flag up.

No membership is required to join the listserv. The e-loop is open to members of all faiths, however, many of the members and much of the listserv content is conservative Christian.
