Re: Homeschooling Gathering
I think 5 consistent families is a success! My group only has 3 consistently, with usually 2-3 other families showing up each week.
I've been discouraged too. We just meet up and talk while the kids play. It's probably intimidating for newbies since everyone has known each other for years, but I try to include them so they'll come back!
Part of my discouragement is feeling alone in thinking that a weekly meet up is VITAL to the success of our homeschool. I need it for sanity. The kids need the exercise and outdoors and friends. For us it's a blocked out afternoon on our calendar every single week. I don't schedule appointments then or schedule other activities at that time. Others don't see it that way. They just come if they feel like it and happen to be free.
If I were you, I'd do it as long as it's meeting a need for you guys.
