I want to homeschool my highschool daughter?

Okay... relax. First thing to know-- you are allowed to do it simply because you want to. It's legal in every state, you don't have to have detrimental reasons. It's simply your choice. For lots of people, it's a first choice from the start.

Second-- learn state laws. Some states have some tedious paperwork and requirements, others don't. You need to know yours.

Third-- read up on homeschooling, because it's not (or doesn't have to be) anything like school.

If you take her out right away, there is no rush to start immitating a school house tomorrow-- you can let her decompress for a while. Let her read or work on independent projects, or something creative like art or something if you prefer. Take some time to learn all the different ways you can approach education with her.
