Hi J..
We are homeschooling our children and it is not as hard or terrifying as I imagined it would be. The hardest part for us was choosing the curriculum. Most curriculums have teacher manuals that guide you through how to teach each lesson to your child. The school district sent us a bunch of stuff (which seems like it was meant to scare us out of this choice, but who knows their intent). Two important things to do (in my opinion) if you chose to homeschool are to: First, join HSLDA (I think it is www.hslda.com). It is the home school legal defense association. If your district gives you a hard time, they help. They are a great source of info also. The second thing would be to find a home school group in your area so you can have some other moms to talk to and group activity things for the kids to be involved in.
Good luck, what ever you choose! Happy to help in any way I can if you send me a private message.
