BAHA'I EDUCATION (PUBLIC LIST)
Open to anybody who wishes to discuss the theory and practice of education from a Baha'i perspective.

BAHAI-ADD-LD
Forum to extend and exchange knowledge of learning disabilities, be sources of encouragement to others, and share their experiences, questions, news, information, announcements, comments, suggestions and developments regarding ADD/LD.

BAHAI-DISABILITY
Open to any Baha'i in good standing, whether disabled themselves or not, to consult about any disability in a Baha'i context.

BAHAI-HOMESCHOOL
This group is open to those interested in homeschooling and those who are carrying it out.

BAHAI-HS-KIDS
Bahai-hs-kids is for HOMESCHOOLED KIDS (both YOUTH AND KIDS--we hope that youth will mentor younger children) to talk to each other and discuss their problems and ways to solve them.

BAHAI-MOTHERS
This list is restricted to women although it is not necessary to be a mother. Whether you are a new mother, an experienced mother, an adopting mother, a stepmother, a pregnant mother, a grandmother, or a curious potential mother, this is the place to talk about Baha'i mothering.
