  1. In MA,is that Massachucettes? when I dropped out in 11th grade I first spoke with my parents,then a school counselor and explained my plan, from there it went to the principal and basically That was all...I did quit school went through independent study to graduate at the same time I went through welding school...after welding school I was placed at a company. By that time I had graduated High school...Good Luck...Hope this helped


  2. Run away from home i suppose.

  3. Could u secretly obtain your GED, or do u need a parent's signature for that? Once u have that, u don't need to be schooled anymore, right? Then u can go to a community college, I would think.

  4. just tell them u don't want to be home schooled

  5. you dont "drop out" unless you are an imancipated minor or your parents sign a paper for you to quit, which i think you can only have done if you are 17 or older.

      Depending on state laws, you (moreso your parents) transfer to another school, whether that is charter, private or public.

    You can research state laws for your project here:

  6. The process of dropping out of school would be quite simple. You'd tell your parents that you no longer wish to pursue your education.  You would call the board of education and let them know of your decision.  They may ask you to speak to a guidance counselor.   If you are subscripted to a home school program you'd inform them of your decision as well.  Then I suppose you'd have to get a job.  If your parents do not agree with your decision then perhaps you'd have to get emancipated.. (Ie legally free from your parents -- that you are now an adult)

  7. get a job at Burger Doodle and spend your days talking to people through a speaker in a clown's head. Nobody will look for you there.

  8. Your parents would simply send a letter of intent to terminate your home education program for whatever reason before you complete your 12th year of school... This might not be dropping out though. You could be graduating early and starting college early, or moving, or enrolling in a public or private school... But if you do this and do not intend to further your education in any way, then you're dropping out

  9. run away from home

  10. Run away from home, I guess =) !!!
