We’ve homeschooled for 15 years.
We’d like to buy an RV and take off across the country. As travelers, will anyone bother us about the boys not being in a government school?
If we take a rental house for a few months somewhere, will we be considered residents instead of vacationing?
We're planning a fun vacation, not something that will allow a strange society to beat up on our family continually.
1. As long as you’re following the homeschooling laws where you’re a resident, there’s np.
2. If people do thing it’s odd, that’s their problem not yours.
3. This is something I’ve wanted to do for years, but don’t have the resources to pull off. I say GO FOR IT! =) What an absolutely amazing educational experience for your children.
4. No, I believe as long as you’re paying taxes in your home state, you’re not considered resident anywhere else. I think. Hopefully someone else will have a more definite answer on that one.

As long as you’re homeschooling legally by the laws of the state that you RESIDE in, you should be fine. Oh, i’m sure a couple of people will ask questions or make a comment or two, but no one with any power over your lives, and I doubt it will happen enough to become a problem. Just say you’re homeschooling and let that be the end of it. If you do rent a home in another state, I’m pretty sure that doesn’t change your residency, but I could be wrong so check into it. I know that the family across the steet are legally not considered US citizens because they only come here in the spring and live in Ireland the rest of the year, but I’m not sure how it works from state to state so check into it. It also might be a good idea to carry any doccumentation you have for homeschooling, or at least a copy if you have anything. This way if you ever are met with a situation where you need to let someone know what you’re doing, you’ve got it in writing. Have fun

What do you care? You’re going to drive off and never see these people again anyway.
