I am thinking about homeschooling my son and I don't know where to begin.  Can someone help me to get started or point me in the right direction.  By the way I live in North Carolina if that has anything to do with it.

How old is your son? I have a friend that lives in North Carolina and she home schools if you have any questions I might be able to ask her, you can PM me if you would like to chat, Michele

Renee here's a link to HSLDA's site where they have links to what each state requires.  http://www.hslda.org/laws/default.asp  I think it's a good starting point.
