Heart and Home Educators Guiding Principles of Operation

Ideas are evaluated based on their merit, not on who offered them.

The "group" belongs to all who embrace it, not to a board or individual.

What most homeschoolers need is a "family" in which to belong. If we, as individuals, give with a right spirit when we see a need, in the long run, we will reap more than we sow.

On some very important items, we can accomplish much more by working together than we can by working as individuals.

All "activities" (e.g. field trips) to be undertaken must be more value-adding than the "lost schooling and energy" caused by the activity.

We must vigorously protect our right to home educate our children.

We should hold ourselves accountable to act only in ways that are above reproach.

If the "product" is good enough, unique enough, stays around long enough, people will eventually buy it.
