Part of the reason we homeschool is so\nthat we can focus on progressive and sustainable topics, for self-directed,\nliberal arts inspired education. We have gotten to know a few more vegetarian\nand vegan families who homeschool in Baltimore. I wonder if there are any more\nvegetarians \/vegans out there who are\nhomeschooling. I am interested in developing a research \/writing group for\nhomeschooling middle and high school students. We belong to a Baltimore area\nhomeschool co-op (BRANCH) that holds classes on Fridays and has use of a log\ncabin space at a local nature center. Whether it&#8217;s a &#8220;virtual&#8221;\ndiscussion group, or a local group that meets monthly or even weekly, I think\nthat this would be a wonderful network to build. The students could strengthen\ntheir research and writing skills while following their interests in\nsustainability and animal rights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Shared an article on\nvegan lunch options for kids written by a VRG intern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/VRGparentsandkids\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/VRGparentsandkids\/<\/a> is intended to be a group that offers support for\nfamilies raising children on vegan diets and for vegan kids. We envision it as\na place to get advice about a wide-variety of topics: pregnancy, birthday\nparties, school lunches, Halloween, non-leather apparel, cruelty-free products,\nsummer camps, and more. Please use it as a place to share your wisdom, seek\nadvice, or just find a sympathetic ear. The goal is to offer support. <br>\n<br>\nConsequently, any profane, defamatory, offensive,\nor violent language will be removed. Feel free to disagree, but do so\nrespectfully. Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity,\nreligion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs will not\nbe tolerated. We expect that posts should relate to vegan diets and lifestyles.\nThe Vegetarian Resource Group reserves the right to monitor all content and ban\nany user who posts in violation of the above rules, any law or regulation,\nSPAM, or anything otherwise off topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please share this information\nwith any veggie families that you know!
