Our school district in Texas was known for sending a dirty letter when you pulled out to homeschool....... "you are taking valuable resources from our district, blah blah blah....."....

Funny, but I never got one....... it was an intimidation letter and they knew me better than to send one........ lol

The only resistance I got was from my youngest child's school. I had sent her a note before I pulled him, asking her opinion of homeschooling and if she thought it was a good idea (amazed I was ever that naive LOL).

Anyway, she was ok about it. She said that the one-on-one was wonderful, but that socialization was an issue and that the kids wouldn't be able to play in sports. That was about all she said. I didn't even bother to ask anyone in my son's middle school. I just pulled him.

they still get their taxes. I was never part of Impact Aid, anyway, so that doesn't apply to us...

If you don't know what Impact Aid is, it is money that the government provides to schools with a high number of military families. You would NOT believe how much they push this. Once a year, the schools send home forms to determine how many of their students are in military families and you have to, I repeat HAVE to turn one in. At least that was the impression they gave me.
