It depends on which state you live in, because the laws are different in each state.  A good place to get information is from Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), a non-profit organization that promotes legal, responsible home-schooling.

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).

It's actually quite easy. My wife and I homeschool are kids and here are the basics.\n\n1. You'll have to register your child with the school district basically letting them know you are going to homeschool.\n\n2. Buy the ciriculum for the grade your child(ren) are in.\n\n3. Get going.\n\nThere are a lot of resources available to homschoolers. There is most likely a home school group you can join to go on field trips with and have support. There is also some different things you can join like the homschoolers legal defense network for some extra support. Some states desire  that you have a four year degree to do it. If you don't they ask that you have a monitor for a couple hours a day. But that varies by state. Anyways do some internet searching and you'll be surprised what you find.

If it is determined that a "Home Program" is the best environment for your child, then your local school system must provide and pay for program.  Speak to your doctor, psychologists, therepists, teachers, etc.  Get support behind you.

Not every college has the same view of homeschooling, but most will accept the student if they have adequate evidence of their success.  Some even give preference to homeschoolers.\n\nThe list below is a partial listing of colleges across the U.S. who encourage homeschooled students to apply.  Not all are accredited, but the majority are.

There's not much to pay for really!  Depending on what state you are in, you can probably do it for almost free!  A library card, internet access, some paper and pencils are just about all you need!\nI'm homeschooling my three children for almost nothing.  My 8 year old is doing the most focused work, so I'll tell you what I do with him. \n\nWriting: a $9 workbook from Wal Mart called "The Complete Book of Handwriting."  This goes from age 5-10 or something like that.  For older kids, they don't need much, just practice. \n\nReading: Whatever library books he's interested in.  We started off with a phonics program from A Beka, but you can find phonics curriculums free online if you look hard enough.  A Beka has a book called "A Handbook for Reading" that you can get for about $12, that teaches all the phonics sounds. \n\nHistory, Science, Social Studies:  Look at the WorldBook encyclopedia Scope and Sequence website.  They'll have a list of what should be learned at each grade level.  Then you can go to the library and find REAL books about those topics. You can look for science and history projects online for your topic. You can watch movies and educational tv shows about your topic.  \n\nMath:  For math, we use workbooks from Wal Mart. "The Complete Book of Math- Grades 5-6" is what my 8 year old son is using right now.  They're cheap (about $9 a piece), and cover everything that needs to be covered.  If your child needs extra practice in something, you can look online and find free worksheets.  Example:  My son needed help with long division.  I did a search for "long division free worksheets" and found a lot of them that I downloaded and printed out for him. \n\nI've educated my son for about $40 per year!   It's a lot cheaper than most people think.  Of course you could go out and buy an expensive $500 curriculum, but it probably wouldn't work for your child, as most homeschoolers tend to realize that the all in one curriculums just aren't for them.  Try it the really cheap way that I just described and I'm sure you and your children will love it!\n\nIf you need any more help, please email me!! I love helping people with these things!

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!

Actually, homeschoolers are enrolled as part-time students when they take classes at public schools. First check your state standards as to what you are required to do to set up your homeschool. Homeschool Legal Defense Association could point you in the right direction. Then contact your school district and find out what classes your child could take. Some districts will only allow hs'ers to take extracurricular classes.\n\nThen figure out what kind of homeschool you want to set up. Do you want your child to direct her own learning, do you want her to fill out worksheets and take tests, do you want her to do unit studies, do you want to unschool her (probably not from what you've said)? Do you like history based studies, literature based studies, or something more math and science driven? Are you looking for Christian curriculum or secular?\n\nOnce you have a little direction, jump on the internet and start searching. Find out if there will be a curriculum fair or convention before you buy anything. And always try to find used curriculum and talk to the person who used it. See what they thought of it and if they'd recommend it.\n\nOh, and see if you can find a homeschool support group near you. Those moms will have a wealth of information. Hope this helps.

You need to find out what your state requires.  About.com has good info on homeschooling and how to begin and the basics:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/od/gettingstarted/p/homeschool101.htm\n\nAnd a list of links to state requirements and laws regarding homeschooling:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/cs/gettingstarted/a/legalusa.htm\n\nThey also have many resources and unit studies.\n\nThere are many places online that have numerous resources from worksheets, to projects, to lesson plans and unit studies.\n\nLocally you might have a homeschool group which meets for playdates, or classes or activities.  Probably your local library will know of some contacts.\n\nGood Luck!

Contact the local school board office.  Don't expect them to be helpful, because they will hate homeschoolers and feel no urge to help.  Don't leave until you get your answers, but stay polite.

Go to http://hslda.org  They promote LEGAL, RESPONSIBLE homeschooling.  You can find out what is required to legally homeschool your child in your state.  The laws are different in every one, but it is legal everywhere in the USA.  Especially find out what the "compulsory school age" is in your state.  That is the age that you need to either put your child in public school or offically home school your son.  You may not be required to do anything official until he is 6.  Then you can just keep up the good work until then.  Include your little one in the reading, but otherwise, simply allow your youngest to play quietly or nap while you have school time with the older one.  With homeschooling, your scedule is very flexible, so do what works for you!   \n\nIf you do need/want a curriculum, there is an ocean of curriculums out there, and it can be intimidating to wade through them.  I would recommend starting with a guide by either Mary Pride or Cathy Duffy.  They are experienced homeschoolers that review curriculums and publish their well-informed opinions about them.  Look for books and websites by them.  After choosing a curriculum, you can often get used books on e-bay, and several websites like www.christianbook.com have good prices on new curriculum.

Type home schooling in the search box over on the side of the yahoo!Answers home page.  There are 25 answers there.\n\nI homeschooled my children, and now my grandchildren.  It requires a lot of time and effort, but the results lead to children who actually know how to take care of themselves.  Instead of learning how to say what the teacher wants, they learn how to think for themselves.\n\nGood Luck
