How do I convince my parents to keep me in a public school?

Question

Hello, I currently go to a public school and I am doing very well. Straight A's, honnor society, honor roll and I made AVID. My parents are divorced and my mom wants me to go to a private all girls catholic school! My dad feels tht i am doing well now so why chance loosing friends and all that hard work i have achieved. I do NOT want to go to a private school for the simple reasons as my dad said I am doing great! Why take me away from tht and also my mom seems to think tht in a private school there is no bullies... bullshit there will be bullies anywhere you go

Any advice?

Answer 1

Why is this in the Home schooling section?  There are generally no bullies in a home school environment, just great kids with great friends. Most of them don't resort to using foul language to get their point across and they are also learning to use sensible arguments instead of whining to solve their problems.

Answer 2

Tell them that in an all girls school there are alot more bitchyness because there are no boys around and therefore girls don't have to make themselves look good. They are also snoby there.

Its also your decision. Tell them if they send you to an all girls school you won't work. Your parents will think alot about that.

Answer 3

hello there is nothing wrong with private schools but to be onest, of course there are still bullies, but you need to plan ahead, tell your mom the VERY GOOD reasons why she should keep you in public without saying friends try that GOOD LUCK.. can some people answer my question, plz!!

Answer 4

Catholics schools aren't necessarily better.  Kids are the same everywhere.  I think you should stay in public school.  It sounds like you are doing really great there.  Bullies are everywhere.  Going to a private school isn't the answer.  My daughter was in a private school this past year and kids are the same there as in public school.  We weren't happy with the private school so this year I will be homeschooling her.

Answer 5

My advice is to petition the court to give Dad custody.  (I'm serious, you could make that happen).

Answer 6

tell them you think you might be a L*****n. if your mom is catholic she will definatly think twice before sending you to an all girls school. lol mite work
