Round Robin letter « Thread Started on Mar 8, 2009, 2:18pm »
Hi I am Alison,wife to dh for nearly 26 years and mother of 7 wonderful children. We have homeschooled for many years...it is embedded in our family culture! I now homeschool only the two youngest as four of the older ones are doing uni and the other year 12 with our Senior Clollege. I saw this idea on an American forum and thought it might be fun to try here.You write a family letter and send it onto the first person on a list of families. They then write their letter and add it to yours and post it to the next person. The letter writing continues until the letter ends up back at the first person when I guess it could begin all over again. I like the idea of getting ordinary mail in an age when everything is electronic(says she writing on her computer!)The only thing I can't figure out is how the people who wrote earlier would get all the later news from people,unless that was posted to them at the end of the round. Anyway would love to hear from anyone who is interested in doing this or if you have done it before. blessings Alison

Hi Alison, to Australian Secondhand Homeschool Curriculum and Books!
My name is Jillian, wife to my dh for 23 years, and I have been homeschooling our two children for almost seven years, now. We have used a variety of different curricula, but have now settled on ACE PACE's with ACASDE (Australian Christian Academy School of Distance Education), and our children are enjoying the work.
The round robin thing sounds different, but who would start it moving, and how many people would keep it moving Blessings, Jillian <><

Thanks for the welcome Jillian! I guess the round robin would depend on getting say 6 or so people interested in starting and then one person starts writing to number twp on list who after a specified time adds on their news and passes it onto the next person. I think it could work if you kept the gap between receiving and sending on a maximum of 2 weeks. But this is probably only hypothetical as I don't know of other homeschoolers interstate who might be interested,do you? blessings Alison

Hi Alison, No, I don't know of other homeschoolers interstate. Well, I do, but I don't know their address, if that makes sense. So, I guess that we need another four people to get it started
