Resources
Be sure to check your local library for books on homeschooling.
Also, check if there are any local organizations that you can
join (see Yahoo Groups and Google Groups). These groups have
a lot of people that are experienced homeschoolers, and they
are usually very helpful/willing to share their knowledge.
Be sure to check the legal stuff that you will need to know with
whatever state you live in. There is a lot of information online
for homeschoolers so do a search and see where it takes you.
