Do you walk away and say nothing, or let them know they are wrong by giving them the facts?

If you have decided to homeschool you have the freedom to express yourself freely, even if this irks the school district. You could write a letter to the local newspaper or the local Patch web site, describing why you are pulling your son out of school. You may decide to return to the school district in the future, so this is not without risks.
