The three main steps are:
1. Check local/state laws. Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states and many foreign countries. You'll need to check the laws of your particular region/state. If you're in the US, go to HSLDA's website and click on "In Your State" for an overview of each US state's laws.
2. Pick your curriculum, if the state doesn't 'require' you to use theirs' (I've heard of people who STILL use their own instead of the state's).
3. Check out local co-ops and support groups. They are invaluable during the first year (the most difficult). They've already jumped the hurdles you will face and are a GREAT source of info on laws, curriculum, socialization, park days, lessons/co-ops...
For more info, feel free to email me.

My mom just wrote a letter to the school informing them that she was removing us from the school and was going to teach us at home. Of course that was 14 years ago, and like others have said before it really depends on the laws of the state you live in. Texas is a home school friendly state.

What do you mean "get" a child homeschooled? If you just mean to homeschool, you have to check in with the laws where you live. Check out www.hslda.org to find the laws where you live.

have you talked to the local school district? If not try asking them for some help on getting your children homed schooled. That is what one of my friends did and they were more than happy to help

The laws vary from state to state. One good place to start would be www.hslda.org. They're up on all the laws in every state. Where we live in California, it's not hard at all. We all love it, including my very socialize (and civilized) children.

I homeschool my children and I just checked them out of public school. The laws are very good for homeschoolers in my state. If you go to www.hslda.com they have the exact laws for your state.

All you have to do is register with your state's home schooling association. You have to have the time and commitment for it though. BTW, to register, you have to have a syllabus and curriculum.

It depends on the state you reside in. It is legal in all U.S. states and some countries. Check for your local laws.
