RE: Strict lines.

I have no idea if they are typical of groups in my area. I was in another state before this one and the other groups I joined when I moved to my current state were groups in name only. There was zero activity on the messageboards and in real life. So this is my first group where I actually have met people. Perhaps it's the homeschooling style for the majority of the regular and very active members? They follow their curriculum very closely and adhere to the age guidelines in whatever method they are choosing fairly strictly. I figured it was because it works well for their families, but never thought that they'd make it a point to extrapolate it onto *my* family! Especially since this group (as it was intended by the person who started it) is supposed to be about supporting eachother during our homeschool journey and being tolerant.

All that to say, I don't really know. It boggles me.
