I was homeschooled through Christian Liberty Academy:

They have several videos on you tube that discuss homeschooling as well as instructional videos.
Save my site name and feel free to contact me with specific questions. Do not be scared of this. If you do not know the stuff you can learn it. Going through it a second time you will relearn it and its meaning will change as you teach. This is good for a student to see an adult struggle to learn. Have your student teach you. Have them write everything; a paragraph on your visit to McDonald’s; write out in sentence form step by step how to do long division, quadratic equations, anything. It will improve the connections the mind makes between vocabulary and numbers and will improve their word problems abilities and their analytical skills. ire tutors from your local college in subjects you need help in. Enroll in the remedial classes at the JC or take college course while still in grade school/high school. We have a number of tutoring services in our area that will avail themselves to homeschoolers.
I definitely don’t think you should advise a new homeschooling mom to educate her children from peopleofwalmart.com You trying to scare her to death about how her kids will turn out????
(Check yo link, lol)
You have mentioned excellent choices for homeschooling. Most online programs are repurposed government school crap. “Free” is hardly free when you consider the worldview and the inferiority of the materials.
In 8th grade I used saxon math, if he is an average or better math kid, saxon has tests on site to tell you what book to buy.
I used the old used saxon sets they were the best.
