try the local Gateway in your area...they have to go there to take tests weekly but they give you the supplies..sometimes the drop out schools are required to supply curriculum until the next school year.

Answer 2

I am so sorry about your son's experience.

In order to homeschool, you need to first know the law.  Check out this site for further reference.

Answer 3

Start out by finding every resource that is available to you.  Go to www.hslda.org

Take a week or two and de-program your son!  Unschool for a few days and get to know how he thinks.  Spend time playing games, hiking, bicycling, swimming, cooking, reading together.... etc.

Then get together a few books and start out simple:

Do math for the first part of the day,

Then have him write a full page essay.

Then have him read for at least two hours.

Check into www.robinsoncurriculum.com

You'll be pleased with your choice to home-school.

Answer 4

Good for you.

Go to the website for the laws for your state.

If your state is liberal in the laws, you can create your own curriculum by using the library and online reading and resources.
