Phey, did you always plan to HS, or are you choosing it because school settings would be a rough fit for this particular child (e.g. he has behavioral quirks that would make that so)?

Especially if the latter, you may need to work through the issues you see (as you noted, following instructions, self-control around glowing boxes, etc.) one by one as you step into schooling. Working through issues is also teaching, so if progress on the behavioral pieces is all you get done for a while, that would seem fine.
