MPIE- Muslim Parents Involved in Education List

MPIE
Muslim Parents Involved (in) Education

Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim
In the name of Allah the most kind, the most merciful.

This is not a homeschooling list or a teachers list.
This is a list for Muslim parents who are involved in, or want to be invloved in their children's education.

This is a place to encourage and champion greater participation in education from Muslim parents. Such as being a reading buddy, being a classroom or office assitant one day a week, serving on the PTA and so much more.

This is a list for Muslim parents. . .

. . .who want to explore postive contributions they can make to their children's education and school.

. . .who want to promote peaceful, non-agressive and non-hostile conflict resolution between parents/teachers/faculty/boards.

. . .who are looking for ways to contribute to the school as a whole.

. . .who need advice on how to deal with a school problems, or just vent -- while looking for postive ways to improve the situation for all those involved.

The purpose of this list is to provide a forum for Muslim parents who have children attending public, non-Muslim private, non-Muslim religious, or Islamic school.

Administrative

This list is not for the introduction to Islam. The list assumes the reader, and writers are Muslim or are knowledgeable of Islam.
This is a Muslim network and as such an Islamic environment should be maintained. Please adhere to proper Adab when dealing with others. (i.e.. avoidance of profane/explicit language, no bullying etc.)

Please be respectful of each other's educational choice, whether it be public education, private Islamic school or non-Muslim schooll. We can object or discuss with out denigrating the choice or the person.
This list is only for the discussion of education, education politics, Muslim education, family relations (as it pertains to education). Though this list will also promote a community/family atmosphere, where postings of humor, caring and community are most welcome, there are prohibitions.

PROHIBITED

This list is not for the prostelization of any religion. It is a Muslim list. Postings determined to be for the purposes of prostelization are prohibited.

Comparative religion (within reason) and comparative sect questions within the context of education are welcome. All internal politics that divides the Ummah is prohibited.

Posting of propaganda materials against any Muslim organization, Muslim personality, race, other religions or personality in other religions is prohibited.

A subscriber who has posted material determined to be for such purposes will be warned once. A second such posting will result in poster being permanently removed from the MPIE list.
Please protect others intellectual property. This list and list- owner are not responsible for the contents of the posts of others, and cannot be held liable. Subscribers are asked not to post the entire writings from Muslim and non-Muslims. Only relevant passages.

It is important to understand that the writers, Muslim and non-Muslim would like to see some monetary benefit for their work. It rewards them for taking the time to write, encourages them to write more, and sometimes is the difference of food being on the table one night or not. Sales also encourage publishers, Muslim, and non-Muslim to produce more.

If you photocopy, scan or post entire works, without author/publisher's express permission, you are robbing from them. Thievery of intellectual property, like physical property, is against Islam.

This list is maintained by Muslim Home School Network and Resource (MHSNR). It is part of our continuing commitment to provide and create resources for Muslim home educators and all Muslim educators.

In keeping with our mission and our beliefs, MHSNR and MPIE List removes itself from any and all political issues that do not impact education and home schooling. MHSNR does not engage in or will be involved in any form of internal politics that divides the Ummah.
