Um, if you're doing homeschool, then you are the one who better be good...lol, especially at the high school level. Do you mean a private school?\n\nIf you're home schooling, especially at the high school level, you must contact your state's Department of Education regarding whether they will honor the work done at home toward a high school diploma. Most of the time...not. Your child will be looking at a GED instead. Use the site below...there's a list of state DOE's there. Then find a parent homeschool network for your state or city. You can Google to find them. Enter your city name, and "homeschool parent". \n\nhttp://www.spedusource.org/\n\nGood luck!

What are you trying to prepare him for exactly?  Does he have trouble reading?  Writing?  As a ninth grade social studies teacher the biggest problem I find, is that freshmen have organization and personal responsibility problems.  As soon as school starts go to the parent-teacher night, if they have one, or make some kind of contact (e-mail is good) introducing yourself and just letting them know that you want to help your son succeed in high school.  Buy an organizer for your son to record his homework and MAKE him use it!!   And if he doesn't do well at the beginning, make him take responsibily for poor grades.  Hopefully, if you work with him from the start and set up good study habits he will succeed!

In addition to doing a websearch for general support sites (like the person above gave you), you should also go to your state Department of Education website, and become very familiar with their homeschooler page(s), and the state grade-level standards and benchmarks.\n\nHere is one of the best homeschool sites I've ever seen:\nhttp://www.brightword.com/homeschooling-special-needs.html

It is possible to buy them from most good book shops.  Schools also have a pack which I think they work through.  If you want the actual names of the books put a supplementary question or another question with Wirral in it and I will find out for you.

Two things that came to my mind first were pocket charts and large writing tablets. The most expensive part for me is always decorating bulletin boards and the room, so things like borders and letters would be great. Also, you can never go wrong with books, lots and lots of books!\nI am so jealous that you are getting $250! I wish I was lucky enough to get that. Good Luck next year!

Start at HSLDA's website (http://www.hslda.org) and look up the laws in your state.  Look for a homeschool support group in your area - you'll be able to talk with people "in the trenches" and find out about their experiences with the local school system, family (especially grandparents), friends, socialization, co-ops...\n\nLook in your library for books about homeschooling - there's lots of different approaches - classical/Charlotte Mason, unschooling, ...  This will help you determine what type of curriculum you will be looking for (if any).\n\nFor now, just read to your baby!  I read to my older son when he was a baby and he's an avid reader now (at 11 years old).

Summer Bridge Books are great.  You can get them at any book store such as Borders or Barnes and Noble.  The books review skills from the grade and then expand on what they will need to know for the next grade!

Make friends with upperclassmen.  You can buy their books from them for more than the bookstores will buy them for, but way less than what the bookstores charge to resale them.  \n\nCheck your school papers classified sections at the end of sessions, and pay attention to the kiosks where people post their wares for sale.  \n\nMaybe advertise yourself for the books you are looking for as well.

I taught 5th grade a few yrs ago. I liked using their literature stories and have the students pick a character and write the story from a different perspective. You can also allow them to write about their hobby,how would someone describe you if they came into your room and didn't know you?What will you be involved in in high school? What is your goal for 30 yrs of age? Write about fav sportsman. Who is their hero? What is a hero? Feelings about America? I once did a story on a bag of marshmallows and they wrote from the marshmallows veiw. It was a good topic. You can use everyday objects and lay one on each desk. Recently I had my grandkids write a story about 3 items that I picked for them. The items had nothing in common but they wrote great stories. They also made a story plan by filling out a form with the characters,problem,2 paragraphs about how to solve the problem,how it was solved, and wraping up in the last paragragh. The next time I let them pick the items but it took them forever to get them. I think they were trying to think up a story while looking for the items. I was actually working with one grandson who was behind in reading due to ADHD( Delux!). He learned some from the new ideas I found for him and it was nice that the others of about the same age wrote with him.PBS.com is where I got some of my ideas(games,worksheets,books) to help him this summer so he got caught up. "Mrs.McGowen Lots About Reading" in the PBS site is a great source and has many ideas on all subjects. Best wishes! I miss teaching but have my hands full with grandkids!

If you can't home school, then read, read, read to them as much as possible.  Read anything they are interested in (within reason) that is appropriate for their ages.

Check eBay or half.com.  That's where I get all my textbooks for dirt cheap.

First, don't worry about defending your decision to those who have already made up their minds about this issue.\n\nYour first step is to find out what your state requires from homeschoolers - some are very lenient (like Texas), others are very strict, even to dictating the books you need to use, tests you are required to take, and making you submit lesson plans.  Go to the HSLDA website to see the general rules for your state.\n\nNext, find a homeschooling group in your area and talk to other moms and dads who are in the middle of it.  They can give you suggestions for dealing with the local school district, unhappy relatives (especially the grandparents), socialization, co-ops, and maybe even let you borrow some curriculum to try before you have to buy.\n\nYou'll need to look at the different methods - classical, unschooling, eclectic... this will help determine which curriculum to use (if any).  There are also several guides to curriculum, such as Cathy Duffy's "100 Top Picks...", Mary Pride's books, Rebecca Rupp's books, and "The Well-Trained Mind", by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise-Bauer.  See if your library has any books ABOUT homeschooling.\n\nI've actually found socialization to be the easiest part of homeschooling - just knowing other homeschoolers has opened up opportunities for my kids to meet with others on a much more flexible schedule.\n\nYour son may need some time to 'decompress' from public school and find out that homeschool is NOT public school at home.  You can work on your own schedule and not be tied into someone else's.  Start slowly with just one or two subjects, then add another every 3-4 weeks until you're doing all you want to.\n\nAnd realize that some curriculum choices will be trial and error - I can't tell you how much I've 'wasted' on curriculum that just didn't work out for us.  Fortunately, I've been able to recoup some of the cost by re-selling things (eBay and used curriculum sales).\n\nBest wishes for a happy homeschooling adventure!  Feel free to email me if you have more questions.

Homeschooling is a growing market. Estimates of homeschool growth show it to be growing between 7 and 15 percent every year. \n\nI would recommend that you find out when and where your state's homeschool convention is going to be held this year. If you already have inventory, go ahead and try to set up a booth there. If you do not yet have inventory, go and see what other distributers of homeschool supplies are doing. Most distributors do the conventions, market through catalogues, and have webpage-based stores. A few will have local shops open to the public, but you will need to be in a large metropolitan area to have a large enough homeschool base to do this as your exclusive means of marketing.\n\nIf you do not know very much about homeschooling, you are taking a big risk in your selection of inventory. You will need to have a good feel for the current trends in homeschool materials to keep from getting stuck with inventory that will sit instead of sell. Two big names in homeschool product distributers are:\nLifetime Books and Gifts\nChristian Book Distributers has a homeschool division\n\nIf you are a homeschool product developer more than a distributor, a good way to begin to get the word out about your products is to send samples to the major distributors and to homeschoolers that are leaders in the movement. Stop in at http://homeschoolblogger.com and browse for homeschool blogs that have a big following. If you impress a mom with a busy blog, chances are she will blog about the product and share the discovery with other moms.

I would recommend trying to hook up with a local homeschool support group. They will be able to tell you all about the regulations where you live, what sort of things are available, etc.\n\nAlso, check out www.hslda.org yourself for the regulations and just surf the web a bit and check out your local library--there should be some books on homeschooling in the education section.\n\nBeyond that, consider what type of homeschooling you want to do. You don't say how old you are, if you want a diploma or anything like that. There are a ton of online programs to choose from if you want to go that route. There are also just a ton of other programs available, period. A Beka, Robinson and Sonlight are three that pop into my head at the moment, but there are others, too--oh, like Switched On Schoolhouse, AlphaOmega... You may also just be able to do your own thing. Depends on the regulations where you live!\n\nTo those naysaying your interest, I say ignore them. Homeschooling can be great if you make it great.
