HOMESCHOOLED and tired of it!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

Okay so I'm going in to 9th grade and I've been homeschooled all my life (no I'm not like a social outcast loser). It's fine but it's kind of getting old but I don't know how to tell my mom b/c she feels like the schools are all screwed up these days and I don't want to hurt her feelings... I just don't know what to do! Any advice would be great! Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

What subject does your mum suck at?  Science?  Higher maths?  Typing?  English?  Does your local high school have a Drama Club, or sports that you would be interested in?  

Suggest to your mother that you take a class at the high school, or some extra-curricular activities.  If your parents are property owners, then they pay taxes which support the schools, thus, you are entitled to equal access.

It does get to be a drag going to school every day, so you may end up liking a partial course better, anyway.

Answer 2

Moms appreciate honesty and kindness.

What you want to do is have a talk with her and reassure her that your desire to go to school is not a criticism of her ability to provide you with an excellent education, but rather your desire, as a growing person, to try different kinds of schooling.

Then you listen to her carefully and respectfully.  Hear her out as to the reasons she thinks the schools in your area are screwed up.  She may have some good points to make - or she may not.

One compromise you can offer is to agree to return to homeschooling if the education you get at school does not exceed the education you can get through homeschooling.

Be well.

Answer 4

How do you socialize if you are home schooled? Maybe you could talk to your mom and come to a compromise. Tell her that you will keep your grades up and not get in trouble in public school and if you do not you will go back to home schooling. My daughter is home and hospital schooled because of health reasons and she has missed out on alot of social skills because of it. She is terribly shy and has no friends her age. We are going to try to put her in high school next year but it will be hard. Remind your mom mthat social skills are just as important as grades. How else do you learn to deal with others ? Good Luck!

Answer 5

Ask her if you can visit a school near by. Schools let guest come and sit in the class rooms so the parents can decide if they like the school. Anyway you are homeschooled so your probably smart, meaning you will be in all GT and not with the screwed up kids like me that your mom is worried about

Answer 6

First of all, it's not your job to hold back sharing how you are feeling about your life in order to protect your mother's feelings. You're (hopefully) not telling her that she sucks, her wanting you to homeschool sucks or anything like that. If you are not judging her in any way in sharing YOUR feelings, then there's no reason to think that you'd be hurting her feelings.

Second, it sounds like the problem is not necessarily homeschooling, but just a need for a change. Public school would provide a change, but it's not the only way to change things. What changes could be brought to your homeschooling that would make it feel less "old"? There's changing what you're studying, changing how you school, adding more activities like volunteering or clubs... Be open to talking to her about solutions for your problem of feeling a bit bored and potentially many other ideas can come out of it.

Answer 7

just sit her down and say mom okay so i know you think schools are screwed up and everything but i really want to go and meet new people and i am so totally bored with this home school stuff and i want to go school and that is what i would do but that is really actually up to u!!!!

But let me tell ya i hate school but i guess u already did the home school thing so if you don't like school u can just go back to getting home schooled!!

welp hope i helped Byee
