There are several different materials and resources you can use depending on your personal educational philosophy. One option is to use curriculum published specifically for homeschooling families. Another option would be to contact your local school district and ask them about their homeschooling policy. Many school districts will lend homeschooling families their curricula and textbooks, as may offer access to extracurricular activities or school libraries.

is there any homeschooling that is not online
Homeschooling costs vary wildly. A student may be homeschooled for a very low cost by using free resources such as the local library, the internet, used curriculum sales, or distance-learning programs provided by local public schools. The last option is not generally recommended, as it removes freedom of curriculum choice, which is a main reason many people choose to homeschool.Expenses increase from there, and there is really no limit to how much it can theoretically cost.
There are not many people available that will provide homeschooling for no cost at all, as an alternative parents can homeschool their children using resources such as a local library, and contacting nearby schools for homeschool curriculum material.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen an article on the downsides to homeschooling - there are just too many advantages! A study was completed last year which you may be interested in reading: Perhaps a downside could be burnout by parents, partcularly if they've been homeschooling several children for several years. Good luck! Since you asked, NBC did a "Law and Order - Special Victims Unit" on homeschooling being a cover for child abuse. (Go to nbc.com and search for articles on homeschooling.) However, I think that is a grossly inaccurate portrayal of most homeschooling families. Like the last person said, there are only too many advantages to homeschooling that outweigh any "dangers or disadvantages."
