pinkmint Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) I don't understand how the political or racial demographic would have any impact on following state laws.It doesn't. I'm sorry if my remarks gave that impression. I just meant to say I don't live in an area where you have what is more of a typical homeschool demographic. Meaning that we are more odd. Particularly in our neighborhood, making us more noticeable. Edited November 10, 2016 by pinkmint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 We've never had a problem. Around here, there are homeschoolers everywhere at all hours of the day. Once in a while someone will say, "No school today?" Dd will tell them she's homeschooled, and they usually reply by telling her how lucky she is.

Well, I can think of two ways that you can make yourself more comfortable: 1) Meet your neighbors and let them know you school at home in accordance of the law OR 2) Meet no one in the neighborhood and keep your legal documentation for the visiting authorities. While this may sound flippant, I don't mean it that way. You have to decide the right approach for you and yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXBeth Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 In DFW you have nothing to worry about. Not only has homeschooling been commonplace for many years now, there are gobs of private and charter schools that run on a different schedule from the public schools. No one is going to give a second look to a kid playing outside on a school day. Unless they are out most of the day every day, in which case your closest neighbors might wonder. But even then I doubt it. I was homeschooled in Duncanville and even then (20-30 years ago) we wandered the neighborhood and even walked to the grocery store by ourselves during the day with no problems.
