Or message boards. Any place where people with kids in the early grades might hang out. Especially, but not exclusively, if there’s a focus on schooling and how kids learn. ---

[Pioneer woman](http://thepioneerwoman.com/) has a section on home schooling [Mir](http://wouldashoulda.com/) talks a lot about the challenges of dealing with schools and the different challenges that her daughter and son bring to the table. I don’t read either for their parenting or education portions but they do both seem like they would meet your requirements. ---

Most parenting sits are full of weird, messed up people. The only site about parenting that I vist regularly is Free Range Kids [http://freerangekids.wordpress.com/](http://freerangekids.wordpress.com/) ---

Weird and messed up, eh? This would be for the purpose of promoting some educational videos. I’ll check out Free Range Kids. ---

I like Ask Moxie quite a bit - rational advice for many stages. [http://moxie.blogs.com/askmoxie/](http://moxie.blogs.com/askmoxie/) Parent Hacks is genius for neat little tips, every day. [http://www.parenthacks.com/](http://www.parenthacks.com/) I also like this one: [http://simplekids.net/](http://simplekids.net/) ---

One more fave - it’s local to me, but she has wonderful ideas and early-elementary aged sons. [http://eastcoastmommyblog.blogspot.com/](http://eastcoastmommyblog.blogspot.com/) ---

I second Moxie, very strongly. She’s fantastic. That’s the only parenting blog I really read, although I do read a lot of “mommy blogs” and learn plenty from them. ---

This one, [Teacher Tom](http://teachertomsblog.blogspot.com/), is pretty cool. He’s a preschool teacher at a cooperative school.
