Lovemy2boys- I am in my fourth year of homeschooling my daughter, WE LOVE IT. With that being said. Every state has it's own laws. You need to find out what your state requires. Every homeschool looks differant. One of the best things about HS is, it is geared to each childs ability. There are great books on how to HS your child/children. We have a Educational Consulltant we work with for Curriculum choices. We belong to a very active HS group. There are plays, field trips, gym class,book clubs,marching band, spelling bee's, meetings for Mom's each month, teen groups,etc. You can be as busy with extra's or not busy, depending on what your child is like. We like to stay busy. We also have a great church. 80 % of us HS their children

I like that because our church is geared to family activies. Not lots of programns where you just drop off your kids and go your own way. Our daughter is going snow tubing tonight with our Youth group from church, all family's are welcomed. Our family really enjoys each others company. We have a very close relationship with her. It is because we HS. I hope i was of some help to you. Like i said before WE LOVE IT!
