@kodaman2 I speak as both a homeschooling parent (at least before my ex-fiancee and I split) and as someone who spent the better part of the last 5 years architecting an eLearning platform for PreK-12 (unfortunately, one of the bootstrapping cofounders had to step away for both personal and family health issues, still waiting to see what I can open source and/or release as a product on my own in lieu of an angel investor who won't change the vision swooping in), and I spent that time learning a great deal about homeschooling both for personal and business reasons.
One thing I can tell you is definitely worth looking into is the Big History Project. It's linear history starting at the Big Bang, but also multi-disciplinary (one example is algebra during the "Golden Age of Islam"). It's free and offers resources and support groups (on Yammer) for public, private, charter and homeschool teachers alike.
It's based on what Bill Gates has referred to as the best college course he took.

Thanks for your comment. I look forward to BHP. I am hoping after the first year I'd be able to develop a full time curriculum site.
