KC911: good on you for stepping up and offering to help advance this kids education- likely something that has lacked a whole lot in his public education. 11th grade might be a tough argument to begin homeschooling, but could also be really good in preparing him for college when ultimately it will be up to him make the grade and the determination needed to get a degree is a requirement. One thing you might consider is helping with a general plan for his school year- what the general curriculum needs to be done week to week, month to month, etc. so you can track against a general schedule for his school year.

As for social problems with home schooled kids, I'd offer up that depending on your definition of "socialization" they arguably do better as they interact with other home school groups where all ages of kids are expected to interact. Quite a bit different than a bunch of 2nd, 3rd, 4th graders etc. that are in class all day where the slowest kids hold up the class and a large portion of those kids probably have real problems that never get addressed. Home schooled kids by nature have parents that are substantially more involved with their development (as they are the teachers) which is only a good thing.
