How do i convince my mom to let me go back to school?

Question

my mom took me out of school last year and has been homeschooling me,and i want to go back,but she won't let me,how do i convince her?

Answer 1

sit down and have a talk about it. Tell her you would like to enteract with other students to build self cofidence and that you would like to join clubs at school. home schooling you dont meet people and when you go into the real world to get a job you will not know how to act. Its kinda like never taking a kid out to eat if you dont he/she will never know how to act. Also school is a good chance to get a scholership that will save your mom money good luck.

Answer 2

Try to built a trust with her and stay close with her.  Tell her everything and that way she will know that you won't get involved in those things.  Also, if you were to, she would know that you would let her know.  Maybe it is best that you are home schooled, after all, parents do want and know the best for you.

Answer 3

Without knowing more about why you are being home schooled, what your maturity level is, and your parents reasons for home schooling it is impossible to answer this question.

I can tell you that we allowed my 10th grade daughter to take some classes at the public school down the street from us and do the others with me. That gives us the flexibility to teach her on her level and with her interests but allowed her to pick and choose what classes she took at the school. I have to say, I don't think the same option will be applicable to all students. My daughter is mature enough to see the flaws and shortcomings of public schools and all the "peer junk" that goes on there. She truly just uses school as a "tool" not as a subculture to replace real socialization or learning.  She is respected as a leader in her ROTC class and has many friends in and out of the school.

Like I said, I have no idea what your situation is or your parents reasoning for keeping you at home would be. It would be best to talk to them openly and be able to listen to their concerns.

By the way, my daughter is eligible for scholarships as are many home schooled students; Sometimes more so than the public schoolers. Don't let that uninformed answerer scare you away from that idea.  Socialization is the biggest myth that plagues the home school community as well. There are much better places to learn how to act as a mature adult than being thrown in with a bunch of kids your own age and pretty much being made to "figure it out yourself."

Answer 4

Tell her that your missing out socially on friends and that.  You can't get away from s*x and all that anyway, so tell your mom it does not make a difference you being at home or school.

Answer 5

Kyle c has a good answer, you do need interaction with other kids your age and also school is really the best thing for your social development so that you don't become apprehensive when it comes to talking to people, like for when you go for a job interview for example. I home schooled my daughter for a while and she has been in a regular school for 2 years now and is finally having friends and a social life. You mom is being very protective of you and she may be afraid to let you go, because she may not be ready to watch you grow up, I was dreading that about my daughter, but she is doing great in school, and she isn't having s*x. There is no point in it when you are your age, because you are so young, you realise you have so many years ahead of you later for that, and you are more concerned about your education now.

Answer 6

You need to talk to your mom about positive choices and let her know that she has done a great job teaching you to be strong and make good decisions.  Let her know that you understand that you will have to choose your friends wisely and keep yourself associated with people who are not into doing things that they shouldn't be doing.  I understand that your mom wants to keep you safe, but you need to let her know that homeschooling has to be positive for you and her, not just her.  Let her know your true feelings and let her know that she has properly equipped you with the tools necessary to resist temptation....   Good Luck... I hope your wish comes true!!!

Answer 7

Well, she is your parent. It is her responsibility to do what is best for you.

Unfortunately that doesn't always mean doing what you like best.  I know that is hard, and I am sorry you are struggling with it.

My advice to you is this:rather than try to fight your mother, why don't you try taking what she is giving you and working with it? There are some amazing benefits to homeschool that many people do not consider.

As a parent your mother has made the choice to homeschool you.....therefor, why don't YOU use this as an opportunity to show her how responsible and trustworthy you are? Do some volunteer work (humane society, local fire department, library) and show your mother that you can be trusted with responsibility. This will do 2 things:1) When you ask her for even BIGGER responsibilities, like driving or dating she will know from your track record that you are a reasonable and responsible person 2) She might, after you proving how trustworthy and responsible you are, consider your plea to go to public school. But if she DOESN'T you are still gaining important life skills......

......and she might not-either way YOU can turn this into a possitive or negative experience. I hope you choose wisely!

Honey.....no offense, but you can barely spell anything. Maybe this is about MORE than s*x. Maybe she really CAN give you a better education than you have received thus far.

Answer 8

Think of it this way:

There is a reason why you are legally not an adult. Part of it has to do with the experience and wisdom and just plain old thinking ability. Your mother is doing what she feels is best. It may be out of fear, or it may be out of a certain knowledge of what tends to happen and she would really like to help prevent you from going that route. LOTS of kids will say they'll never do this, that or the other but end up involved.

Instead of convincing her to send you back to school, convince her to make your homeschooling more interesting and enjoyable.

Answer 9

If your mom is feeling pretty firm about not sending you back into that environment (and I can totally understand why she is firm about it), maybe you should work on finding other activities to fill in what you're missing from public school and talk to your mom about letting you get involved in those.

Here are some ideas:

You can find groups, internships, volunteer opportunities and other projects to keep you active and occupied.  If you are creative, the opportunities are limitless.  Stop focusing on getting out of the homeschool environment and focus on making it work for you.

Sometimes we have to deal with the cards we're dealt, and if your mom doesn't want you to go back to school, there' nothing you can do about it.  But you CAN make homeschooling something that is fun and enjoyable for you.  It's all about your effort and attitude.

It may take some trial and error, but give it a little time.

Be proud that you have a mom who actually cares and wants to do what's best for you.  Good luck!

Answer 10

It all depends on why in the first place, you were taken out from day School. If you had not been progressing as you should have been  there; your mother is right in having  you taken out from the system. If you are doing well in the academics in homeschool but lack the social environment that a School  provides and you yearn or are only comfortable  in that, you ought to talk to your mother. No body learns under advere conditions but only learn to hate the whole process of learning.

Answer 11

Tell your mom that its your life and she needs to understand that you need social interaction with people face to face and she can't lock you up in the house forever.

Answer 12

make a list of all the good things about public skool and compare that to homeskooling and if that doesnt work cry and tell her that being homeskooled is preventing you from having a real normal life =]] good luck
