Answer 1

Show your parents how school is hurting you and how it is affecting your overall being. Next, show the benefits of homeschooling like getting more time to spend on subjects that you are bad at.

Answer 2

Why do you HATE school completely? Home school done right will require all the homework PLUS more, with possibly no tutor or help nearby when you are stuck. You will have to be somewhat self sufficiant....or willing to LOOK for the answers. If you are hating school because of the work, then forget it! You will HATE home school even more.

If you hate it because of a person(s) then talk to your mom about THAT. Maybe the problem can be resolved. If it's "mean" and "stupid" teachers it won't help to switch home school, as you will have "mean and stupid" people in your life always and you will need to learn how to live and be around them in a way that you can still continue to grow and learn, so for that home school isn't the answer.

When you are young it feels like you just have to do everything that everyone wants you to do. Show initiative if you thing that home school is important to you. Write a list of Pros and Cons as to why you want to do homeschool and present it to your mom WITHOUT whining and pitching a fit. She isn't going to want your grumpy whiny butt home with her everyday - REMEMBER THAT. Research different homestudy programs and present those ideas to your mom. Be sure you ALWAYS do your homework and the extra credit. Show that you are responsible as you will need to be EXTRA responsible if you homeschool. Talk to her in a calm manner and allow her to explain to your WHY she feels it's not best for you. Then use your head and figure out a mature way that you can prove to her that it is. Also ~ last but not least. TIMING is everything. Don't hit her when she is frazzled or tired. Tell her you want to talk when she has some time and then set a time to do so. Homeschool would require you to set times for things, and this would be a good start :)

Just a couple other things to consider? Do you have a fast enough internet connection to do Cyberschool? Does your mom HAVE to work, which keeps her from being home to do it? Does she have enough education herself to teach you? These are things she may be looking at.....just to be fair.

Answer 3

You should totaly stop beeing and act more mature so that she can take into concent that this isnt just a teen phase and sit down with her and show her all the pros of the homeschooling system.

Answer 4

Do to my health am having a hard time getting around so this home school will be a blessing

Answer 5

you need to tell her why you want to be homeschooled and why you hate the school.

try flunking some classes/tests.

and tell her you wont bring ur grades up til your homeschooled.

tell her your serious and homeschooling is were you need to be.

if ur a social butterfly i recomend not being homeschooled....

worst thing ever trust me.

but if u like school and learning

then go for it :D

Answer 6

You need to explore what you hate about school and get some help getting through the issue. When you are out of school, you will have to deal with working your way through problems, not hiding out at home.

Believe me, I hated high school too. For me it was nothing but a stepping stone to college. Hang in there.

Answer 7

just go to school, pansy

Answer 8

Wow well im homeschooled, have been for 8 years now. It's no fun believe me, there noone too help you lol. Your on your own

Answer 9

Hi Loretta,

Try sitting down with your mom to talk to her about your concerns. Make sure you are not running away from problems. If you are running away from a situation, you will most likely face it again repeatedly until you learn to deal with it.

Anyway... when talking to your mom... if you don't already know why she won't homeschool you, ask her what her concerns are. (Make sure you listen to her and try not to argue. :)  Homeschooling can seem overwhelming. Perhaps she feels scared, or unqualified.)

You can tell her all the benefits of homeschooling.

If you need some help, my kids have made a short list here:

If she is scared to oversee your education, tell her that most parents feel scared and unqualified at first. But its not really that hard. Yes, it takes some diligence, but there are so many options and curriculum available for you to choose from - it makes homeschooling quite easy.

She will also find lots of support through local homeschool support groups, or online, etc.

Taking classes through a cyber school is a great idea. You will have structure and access to any help you may need. Some cyber schools also have forums for parents to post questions or ask for help.

You can also take courses that require labs or more guidance (if needed) through a homeschool co-op or enrichment program.

You will also find many opportunities to meet other kids for study or for socializing. Homeschool students are very active, contrary to what others might think.

I hope this helps you and wish you all the best.

Answer 11

It sounds like you would be a perfect candidate for the public school at home options that many states now offer. Our family has been homeschooling for about 10 years, and this year we have been getting tons of  mail about these schools.

Sometimes they are called virtual schools or charter schools. Some I can think of right off are k12 and Connections Academy.

The thing about this type of homeschooling, is you are still considered a public school student while working on your assignments at home. At your age, it would be mostly self-directed, and if you need help the school district has teaching advisors assigned to assist you. The school provides all the materials, some even a computer and stipend to use for your internet service, and they would oversee state mandated testing, and you would still get a public school diploma. If your mom was concerned about issues like cost, her involvement, or acceptance of a homeschool diploma in the real world, I think this would be an awesome solution for you! You sound like a self-starter and like you have thought this through and have excellent reasons for wanting to finish your school at home. Do some online searches for this type of public school at home, and present the info to your mom. All the best to you.
