My younger brother isn't doing too well in public school and my parents are looking at homeschooling as an option. He's in 7th grade now. I've found an online public school - k12, but I was wondering what other options are there?
We'd like to transition from public to home schooling slowly, gradually giving him more and more freedom, so right now we are looking for something slightly structured - a good online school, or maybe a program that gives you textbook and a list of assignments that need to be completed within a month.
My parents both wok and right now I'm on break from college (I'm getting my Masters) but I'll be going back soon, so there isn't really anyone to stay home with him during the day.

You could look into Scholar's Online Academy:

Took some courses from them WAY back 13-14 years ago when they were just starting out.

You may also want to consider BJU Press' online schooling option. Your brother can actually work online with them or purchase DVD courses, both of which provide an instructor every day for every subject.
