Can someone give more info on the steps to take on how to home school in Tennessee for elementary school? Do I need to fill out some forms, be certified? what are the laws and protocol? How long will it take to set up for homeschooling? My daughter is currently in kindergarten, once I'm prepared for homeschooling can I pull my kid out of her public school in the middle of the semester. Thanks!

Sure! Go here. Pick your state. On that page, you'll find your state group's website at the top. Look on their menu for "Getting Started" or "Legal" or "Resources," etc. You'll also find templates and forms, for states that require those, as well as FAQs for situations such as withdrawing mid-year.
