Answer 1

Here in Illinois, the first place to look is the local library for books on this topic (there should be several good ones).The children's librarian probably has interacted with other home school moms with kids the same age in your area.

Answer 2

I am not sure about homeschooling regulations in Puerto Rico, but I suspect they are probably similar to those in the U.S. I know you don't want to be referred to the internet, but there are some really good, legitimate sites that could be helpful in determining if homeschooling is right for you and your son. Try these: (The last one is a legal resource for homeschoolers and can probably advise you about international laws/guidleines for homeschooling.)
