It sounds to me like your son is looking to see whichever way is easiest for him. This is why he keeps changing his mind. I think you and he need to sit down (and if you and Dad can talk this through before hand that would be good) and make some decisions. Then you need tomake a committment to do whatever it is you are going to do for at least the rest of this school year. He is going to be very challenged by switching between schools numerous times, etc.
If you are going to homeschool, I would allow him SOME input on what he will study, etc. You need to decide ifyou are homeschooling for the long term or the short term. If it is a temporary thing than you need to go ahead and see what school he will be going into next year, find out what they are doing THIS year so he does not get too "off track" from them. If you are homeschooling for the long term, then you can plan a school schedule based on HIS needs and his future college's requirements.
Since you have not mentioned what state you are in, the state regulations do vary and since I don't know your requirements, it's hard for me to give you more advice than this right now. It *sounds like* your son is being a little manipulative and you and your ex are going to have to make some hard choices and stick with them for at least a semester!
Just my .02. If you want to talk more, feel free to e-mail me.
