  1. Do all your work quickly, neatly and accurately. Then if you finish what choice will she have? But first you need to show her that you can be responsible and do a thorough job with one year. Good Luck.


  2. try taking the pennfoster high school course.i have been homechooled since fifth grade and now in my junior/senior year.i signed up for this course at the end of october in 06.I only have a few more courses to go.This program allows you to get your 4 years of high school education in less than 2 .i have been able to get alot done on top of traveling and working 9-6 every other day and only have a few more subjects including my electives.Most of the subjects only last a week while history,written communication,earth science,and general math 1 take a little while longer.

  3. I don't know how old you are or what your experience with homeschool has been so far but I spent many years of my childhood being homeschooled. I spent two years completing all four years of my high school courses. I was able to do the work and completed my studies well in advance of a traditional pace. I entered college at age 15 and received my first college degree by age 18. There are many advantages to getting through school at an accelerated rate. There are some drawbacks too. There is a lack of the social interactions one would traditionally get from a regular school but if you are able find other ways to interact with people then this might not be too much of a problem. Also, if you plan to go to college and are very young, you could run into problems securing college loans and such because many require you to be 18 to get them. Also, I don't know what your plan is for getting a diploma but it is better if it comes from an actual school. I reentered highschool with all the credits I needed at the age of 15 and could have graduated right then but the state I lived in allowed me to attend college for free through a program and I only had to pay for the cost of books. I was able to do this for three years and so I looked at it like a scholarship, getting both my high school diploma and college degree the same year. If that hadn't been available I would have been stuck because I would have needed loans to get through college. At 15 no one was going to give them to me. I also think that you have to be the type of individual who is willing to put in the time to really make it work. If you have experienced homeschool before you may already realize the many differences in how you can get your school work done and what type of schedule you would really need. I think it is definitely a situation to really map out exactly how you are going to do everything so you have a good plan and then present it to your mom. Show her that you are truly dedicated to accomplishing this goal and show her how you plan to make it work. If she has any concerns about it, work with her. Instead of making it a situation where you are arguing with your mom to convince her to let you do this, make it a conversation where the two of you are planning out your educational goals and working out the most appropriate and responsible plan for you. The more maturely you deal with this, the more likely she is to come around to seeing that you are ready to take such a leap ahead. As long as your motives for doing it are reasonable and you haven't given her a reason to doubt your ability to stick to the plan, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work out. Many public schools have accelerated programs to get young ladies through high school at a faster pace because they have had a baby and are at risk of dropping out. If they can do it, anything is possible. The most important thing to remember is that high school is paced for the average student. Some students are ready for life on the other side of the diploma well before they get there. Others need that time to fully grow up. I haven't met a person in high school who didn't already think they were "there". Ask yourself why you want to take that jump ahead. Is it because you are in a hurry to be a grown up and not be in your mother's care? Do you have lofty career goals that are going to take many years to accomplish and you want to be a step ahead of the game? Those kinds of things are really going to be the thing that makes your mom's decision for her. Also, just a side note for you in case you wondered...No, graduating at age 15 and being a few years ahead of the game and having a college degree at 18 along with a high school diploma did not get me much further ahead than those who graduated from highschool with just a diploma. Many of them are right in line with me or even ahead. But one thing they have that I do not have, they have experiences I can never even know. I can't tell my daughter what it will be like when she is in high school. I don't know. Prom, what's that. Friends I had in high school? No, I was in college. Yeah I have memories of that but I was too young to experience college the way it was meant to be done too. So there are sacrifices to jumping ahead. And if your mom wants to keep you young just a little bit longer, let her. In a few short years you will be looking back only wishing you could be the age you are now with a mom to look out for your best interests and someone else to shoulder all of the responsibilities of the world. Don't take this lightly. You are trying to get your mom to allow you to make a decision that can truly affect the rest of your life. It may be the right choice for someone. Don't do it unless you are both sure it is the right choice for you.
