POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
TEACH was formed in 1994 by a handful of homeschoolers whose vision was to create a
family of homeschooling friends who may not always have the same beliefs, but who would be
mature and tolerant enough to appreciate one another's differences.
Tolerance
Members of TEACH agree to practice tolerance and respect of fellow members. Members agree to:
- Support each member's reasons for homeschooling and his/her style of teaching.
- Practice tolerance of any member's difference of opinion including spiritual and political beliefs.
- Commit to emphasizing the diversity of homeschoolers.
- Encourage the acceptance of homeschooling as an individualized approach to education.
- Affirm the freedom of parents to choose for their children an education that is consistent with their principles and beliefs.
Confidentiality
All TEACH members acknowledge that anything discussed during meetings,
actvities, or on the e-mail loop, whether business or personal, shall not be discussed with
non-TEACH members except with the express permission of the involved member. Members may not sell, publish, discuss or distribute membership
information without the written consent of the member(s).
Participation
Each family must conduct one activity per year. Activities may be academic in nature such as a dissection
lab, a walking tour of historical Charleston, or a trip to the museum.
Social activities like group ice-skating, a Cinco de Mayo fiesta, or a picnic are also acceptable. An activity coordinator is available to help with ideas for activities.
Non-compliance
Members who do not abide by their committment to TEACH will not be invited to renew their membership.
More detailed information about TEACH policies and procedures is available in the TEACH By-laws.
