Great, well if you'd like to make a new topic, then go for it!
For me the goal of a new thread would be to give parents having trouble with bullying or other issues in schools the information and support they need to get started. What do you think?
Here's some ingredients that help threads work well in the type of community we have, you might find you're thinking along the same lines already:
These threads are here for a long time so think in time-frames of 5 years or longer. Someone has to be able to read the thread and get what they need- even if you've moved on to bigger and better things.
We can't give legal advice, so if there's something legal- we should help the person find services they can contact rather than digging into the issue toooo much.
Keep it simple, when we're stressed (and naturally this is stressful) it's hard to process lots of information, so perhaps give your readers the top 5 things needs to know if they're having trouble with their school would be enough, then we can all jump on and help them out :)
Engage the community and share the load: we're a big group of parents that care about our kids,so if we make a thread we should ask a question or two to help parents feel they can get involved, either by sharing their own story, or offering ideas about what helped them.
Let me know what you reckon?
And now that i have made that gigantic post.... how're you doing today?
