Laura, You’ve been added. You can find it at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1831440117081321/. It’s not my group, but there are a lot of wise ladies there!

Hi Melissa, I am wondering if I can join your group for homeschool leaders? I sent you a friend request! Thank you!

Candace,
As long as no one is breaking non-compete clauses in director contracts, and everyone is following the copyright guidelines in the Foundations Guide, you should be okay legally. Perhaps a lawyer friend can review what you’re doing to double check. As far as moral, that’s between you and God. We felt like the only moral thing to do was to leave. We are still friends with CC families and respect their decision. We also try to stick with the facts of what happened and let folks decide how they feel about it.
Hope that helps!
Melissa

I was considering joining a new one at my church last year, but they wouldn’t allow me to bring the girl I was babysitting full time. This spring they changed their mind, but I wasn’t interested in the cost (I hv 4 of my own ages 6-11). At the same time I was told about a new classical co-op starting that was made up of a lot of former CC folks who had lost their director. So, they decided to start their own w/o the cost of traditional CC (no paid tutors or directors), and make some changes that they thought would make more sense. My understanding is we are not in violation of any CC copyrights so what we are doing is completely above board.
All parents buy their own materials. The only money exchanged is for the facility insurance and school supplies.
The one at my church is run by my associate pastors wife and we don’t discuss this because I think she thinks its illegal or immoral. She has alluded to this.
Thoughts? Thanks!

Jen,
The main group was shut down, but there is a group for homeschool leaders (not everyone is doing a classical community model) and a group for Claritas folks in particular. Let me know if you are interested in either of those. You can friend me at http://www.facebook.com/macorkum. I don’t know of another good resource sharing cite for CC materials since most of us moved to Claritas.

Is there a private, secret Facebook group for CC expats? I love the model and have already purchased much of the Foundation curriculum and supplies, but want to share resources without paying $60 for CCC. Any ideas?

Helen, We seriously LOVE what we’re doing this year and we’re almost full for next year. You can see what we’re doing at http://www.bridgesclassicalcommunity.com.

Willing to converse about what worked and what didn’t? I am seriously looking at stepping down as a director of CC and starting a classical co-op. I am so frustrated with CC leadership, practicums, our area groups being so competitive, having different rules for different groups, etc. I am in the process of talking to some close friends about starting a new group. I don’t want to hurt CC or take any families from our current group, but I know that it isn’t what God has for me.
