New to Homeschool Questions

Hello my name is Michelle and I have some homeschool questions. I recently have decided to homeschool my fourteen year old son. We recently moved to North Carolina from California. He was doing real well out in California. When we moved out here we found out about a school from my husband's commanding officer that was suppose to be a real good school.

My son's first day there was a real nightmare. I have been taking him to therapy to help with his anxiety and trying to work with the school on trying to get him comfortable to go back.

For a while he was working on his class work in the school library and started to do well again. When the vice principle and the social worker decided that they wanted him in class no matter what or he needed to no longer be on school grounds. I had already informed them that I was waiting for my homeschooling papers to come in but that did not seem to faise them.

I have recently recieved my homeschooling papers from the state and now I need to find out which curriculum I can get to help him try to catch up and finish out the eighth grade.

I did not realize that there were so many different sites for homeschooling. I like your idea of unit studies. How do I find what needs to be studied for his age? and how do I get started?
