Is it crucial that I join a local homeschool group?
There are many benefits to belonging to a local homeschool group or network, such as obtaining advice from seasoned homeschoolers, finding social opportunities, and attending field trips, and classes and other events sponsored by the group. However, simply meeting informally with a few other families in your area can provide most group benefits. A park day, picnic or other outdoor gathering is a great way to scope out potential new homeschool friends.
