The court fees are $45?! Yeah the only problem is I can't afford to actually get my tags renewed at the moment. I wasn't planning on not going to court, but since all they clearly want is my money I was hoping I could just give them the money to leave me alone lol.

i got an expired tags ticket last year and all i had to do was go to court, explain why i had expired tags (i used the good ol "i'm in college and my parents take care of this stuff and i wasn't aware of the deadline" excuse...which was true), show the judge that i updated my registration, and i had the charge dropped and i just needed to pay court fees ($45).

avoiding court isn't really optional and isn't worth skipping for such a minor thing. i would just get it over with and if you bring updated paperwork, hopefully the judge will be nice and do the same thing.

tldr: yes you have to go to court and pay the charge and court fee

We’ve got a few awesome ones! Stewart’s Farm Co-op, Sunflower Co-op (The Village), Woven Bramble, School of the Wild, Millsap Farms and Ozark Mountain Homeschool group. I’m sure there are more! I’d be able to add you to some FB groups if you want to PM me!

It's a name change for Hammons Field, likely someone signing on to get naming right, etc, maybe even field ownership. It isn't the team leaving, that much I can all but confirm.

I don't know who it is exactly but rumors are the first person you think of in town with that much money.

EDIT - City ownership of the stadium apparently, and a long-term deal with St. Louis to keep the team here.

A point I haven't seen brought up in this thread yet is not only is it dangerous for buses, but also the teens driving themselves. Teenagers are one of (if not the most) likely group to get in a car accident and tend to have very little (if any) experience driving on ice. Best not to take a high risk group and make their risk even higher.

Are you wanting religious or non-religious?

I know there’s the Homeschoolers In Service one that meets on the north side of Springfield I’ve heard good things about. That’s a Christian group.

Woven Bramble Homeschool Community is secular, I don’t know anything about them but that’s what Google told me.

I can look and find a couple local homeschool FB groups to recommend - I won’t be homeschooling for a couple more years but I’ve joined some just to figure out what I’ll wind up doing to stay legal with it. Missouri does require record keeping and minimum hour requirements. Missouri Homeschoolers is a good one to join, they discuss a lot of the state requirements.

I'm not there yet with mine, but will be in the next year or so. I'm also interested in hearing about co-ops in the area! I know most of the homeschool families I know are either a part of the Classical Conversations (which I'll probably be going with for our kids) or hire professors to meet with them and a few other families children a couple times a week for various subjects.
