New homeschoolers in North Carolina can get a lot of help from the new T4L page about North Carolina homeschooling resources put up by Topsy.  And in case that's not enough help, they can ask follow up questions about homeschooling rules and resources in north carolina on the homeschool forum.

Her article starts: Homeschooling in North Carolina

Hi, my name is Kerry, (my forum name is topsytechie) and I have been homeschooling here in North Carolina for almost ten years now.  I have two boys who have been homeschooled most of their lives with a couple short forays into private schools.  We actually hadn't planned on homeschooling at all.  In fact, homeschooling wasn't even on our radar until my oldest son came down with a serious illness just before starting kindergarten.  Following his illness, he needed a lot of therapy and his immune system was quite weak, so a classroom wasn't really an option for us. Think of me as an accidental homeschooler.
