Hi Melissa,
Before you decide on homeschooling or not, be sure to do a lot of research and really think about all aspects of the decision. Here is a good article to get you started:

Make sure to call the NJ Board of Education and ask what the rules are in your state in terms of homeschooling. States vary in terms of requirements.

Melissa,
It might be helpful to join a homeschooling group before deciding whether or not homeschooling is a good option for you. Homeschooling requires a lot of work and research on your part. Take a peek at this website http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/index.htm. It will give you some input on the pro's and con's of homeschooling. Also, there are many Yahoo groups out there with dedicated homeschooling parents that would be more than happy to answer all your questions and concerns.
