(AAH) support group. AAH as an organization neither endorses nor opposes
any particular educational philosophy, method, supplier, service, material,
or publisher. Our group serves all types of homeschoolers, without regard
to their lifestyles, religions or beliefs, cultures, races, educational
backgrounds, political affiliations, economic group, or family sizes. We
support the right of parents to choose whichever methods, philosophies,
and materials they determine will best meet the current needs of their
own children. While AAH parents believe that we have chosen the best approaches
for our own families, we respect conflicting decisions made by other parents.
We celebrate our diversity, and we agree to disagree on many subjects.
