PostHeaderIcon I’d like to homeschool my high school boy, where can I start?

My 15 year-old boy is very disorganized, and missed a lot of homework in school. Although almost all his peers in school are those who take honors class or AP courses, and he chose to take those difficult courses too. Yet every year in the middle of the year, he doesn’t seem to have any motivation to work hard except when we nag on him. His grades are going down hill. I’m quite sure he’s not into drug or alcohol. It’s been like this since he entered middle school. Now I have enough of it, and want to homeschool him starting next year. Do you think it’s a good idea? Where can I start?
