Answer 1

if she works she may not be able to

Answer 2

*tell her you think you need a more quiet and peaceful place to learn.

*there will be no disruptions like a kid screaming in a classroom.

*better materials.

*you know how theres like 25 kids in a class? they don't all get the full attention they need to make progress in their studies.

Answer 3

Do the reseach.  For instance, you will need to pick a method of homeschooling that you would like to use.  There are many ways to homeschool.  You should figure out all the legal stuff to with this website.  www.hslda.org  Click on your state and it will tell you all the things your parents would need to do in order to homeschool.

Answer 4

Think about all the reasons you think it will be a benefit, what some of the drawbacks could be, the cost, what you are wanting to learn. Present this info to your parents and listen to what they have to say. Give them time to think about it. They might have good reason to want you to stay in public school, if you can counter that with good reason to be homeschooled, do so as an adult.

Answer 5

Keep making spelling mistakes like you have in your question and she'll realise that you're not being taught properly...

Answer 6

To be honest, since I don't know the reason etc, I may advice you wrongly and in this case, I am sorry. Just be aware.

Well, tell her what is wrong with your current school and in this way you may find another, best solution.

Explain her the benefits of being home schooled, understand better and more, don't be afraid of anybody, control yourself better, avoid stress,study as much as you can,no laziness as you won't want to waste your time (no big and a lot of breaks, so less school time) stupidily, don't have the chance to make stupid things, don't be influenced by anybody, don't "stray from your way" due to "bad" guys and vagrants,no tireness, more time for yourself etc.

Go ahead and try! ;)

Answer 7

You may want to ask yourself whether you're trying to avoid or escape something in your present school and why.  I know kids that are being and/or have been home-schooled and they are very well educated and very respectful ... but they are strong Christians as well.  It was also something that their parents wanted and were equiped to do as well.  Its clearly a challenge/burden for the parents.

So, perhaps you could consider a private school with a smaller class size, uniforms, and more-focused students ... even if you're not Christian ... a Christian school may be the best option for you.

Answer 8

I need to know:

Why you want to be home schooled?

Age and Grade?

How do you do in public school?

Why does your mom have to be convinced?

P.S.

Has your mom told you , No?



A 4.00 GPA since third grade means nothing.  

I would need to see your transcript.

P.S.S.

IS THE REAL PROBLEM PEERS, BULLYING, FEELING LEFT OUT, ETC.???

Answer 9

Promise and sign a contract with her that you will work hard with all the assignments, then you will clean the house and start dinner (if that is ok with her)

Answer 10

First of all YOU need to be the one to show her that you're a self learner.  It's really important that your mom doesn't have to hold your hand through all the work that needs to be done.  Are you motivated or are you lazy?  You can answer that and let me tell you that your mom already knows the answer to that question.  (That might be one of the reasons)  Your grades really shouldn't have a bearing on it.  If you don't do well in school, you could benefit from homeschool.  If you do well in school then it's a no-brainer.  There might be a trust issue.  Will you be home alone?  I wouldn't think about leaving my 16 year old home alone but I would my 11 year old.  Both boys but totally opposite in character and maturity.  

There are many factors.  I think it comes down to sitting down and talking WITH your mom about it instead of TO your mom about it.  Ask her what she thinks and listen objectively.  If you disagree, DO NOT bring it up immediately.  Wait until you can think rationally. ( I know.  I use to be Under 21.)   THAT will show maturity.  You must put yourself into your mother's shoes so you'll be able to see where she's coming from.  Sometimes it's hard but it is possible. It can be done.
