. "you are taking valuable resources from our district, blah blah blah....."....

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.

Unless they have changed, Texas schools get money based on attendance also......... so every day your child is not in that building, they don't get that money..........

That was why they pushed attendance so hard.......for the money........... so pulling my child out took away X number of dollars every single day..........

College?

We have home schooled for the past 13 or 14 years. Our oldest home educated child (we have two that were left in public school - I will have to face this decision at judgment) turned 20 this past Sunday. She is going to be a Junior at Georgetown College (NOT university) this fall. She had no problem gaining admissions and there is plenty of money available to help dad and mom with financing higher education. She is a 4.0 student there and is heading to England next spring as an exchange program student with Oxford to study early English Literature and Art.

If you start a ping list or seperate forum add me. I might find something to contribute every once in awhile.
