Homeschoolers Buyers Co-op

Homeschool Buyers Co-op is a resource that can be very useful to homeschoolers.  They created a website for homeschoolers to buy a product together to get a big discount.  There are hundreds of different products or curriculum that you might buy anyway for your school year.  The way the website works is you sign up to become a member for free.  Then you can pick and choose curriculum that you would like to buy.  If you find a curriculum that you want to purchase, you sign up for it.  The organization will then purchase that curriculum on a certain date that they set.  This allows many people to sign up for that purchase and then buy it as a group for a significant discount.

I bought Discovery Education Plus which is an internet resource that allows you to put any subject and grade of your child and it has learning videos that can go along with any of your lessons.  This product is usually a year membership for $375 for a year membership but because homeschoolers buyer co-op is arranging homeschoolers to buy it as a group, we can get it for $99.  This is a brilliant idea and amazing resource for homeschoolers to take advantage of.  The website to sign up is homeschoolbuyersco-op.org

HSLDA…Homeschooling Legal Defense Association

I love to research different things about homeschooling.  I like to collect different ideas and resources that make my homeschooling more effective.  Different people have asked me about resources or ideas that might help them in their own adventure of homeschooling, so I thought I would start making a list of them for people to check out if they want to.

The resource that I am presenting today is HSLDA.  This stands for Homeschooling Legal Defense Association.  They are an amazing resource to homeschoolers nationwide.  Their job is to defend homeschoolers and stand up for the rights of homeschooling.  They have a website that is worth checking out.  On their website they list all the homeschool laws for each state.  This has become more important to me as I enter the world of homeschooling highschool.  They also have a ton of resources listed on their site to help people be more effective in their homeschooling.  HSLDA offers a 1 year membership for homeschool families for around $110 per year.  If you decide to become a member, they will represent you for free if you were ever in need of their legal services.  I love how they are standing up for the rights of homeschoolers.  They have also watched out for parental rights too.

If you join their email list, you can get alerts on what is happening in the world of homeschooling and the battles that are being fought to keep the freedom and privilege of homeschooling present.  I like the alerts that I am given because then I know how I can pray to see God move in the different battles that are occuring throughout the world of homeschooling. HSLDA is a great resource and support to homeschoolers.
