Was homeschooled went to public school for 9th grade don't like it?

Question

I was home schooled my whole life until last year I went to public school for 9 grade and didn’t like it cause of gangs, drugs, cliques, didn’t’ make a lot of friends. My mom won’t let me be home schooled. Is there anything I can tell her that will make her change her mind?

Answer 1

Get her to read the book titled Public School h**l.  Public School h**l is very clear and easy to read.  It also shows the wickedness (right out of the pits of h**l) going on in the public schools.  It shows that the public schools of the United States of America are religious humanist schools teaching their God-hating doctrines.  It shows that public school turns children against their parents, try to convince them that they are homosexuals, and many other horrible things.  And it even gives the only key and sole solution to stopping the indoctrination of children in the public schools.  And Public School h**l is (in my opinion) the most interesting and most important book I have ever read outside of the Holy Bible.  The main thing I like about Public School h**l is that it is very well documented providing a GREAT amount of proof with everything it says.  I believe that if your mother reads it she will be 100% sure that she does NOT want you to stay in public school.  Check it out on Amazon.com here http://www.amazon.com/PUBLIC-SCHOOL-h**l...

Any cirriculum you might choose would likely be as good as or better than the education you'll get at public school.  Google cirriculums or online courses that you can take without your mother's help.  Some have online guidance and teachers.  Print out the brochures (or have them sent to you) to show your mother the various options you have for homeschooling.  Ask local homeschoolers what other options they have taken...

I'm assuming you have a network of home schoolers you've known up till now?  If not, look them up by going to Anne Zeiss's website and once you find other homeschoolers in the area, you can ask them questions about what cirriculums or web schools they've used.

Remind your mom that while you are locked up at school for about 6 hours a day, the amount of time actually spent "teaching" is aprox 52 minutes!!  (See this article:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con... ) - surely you can make it through your online courses in a couple hours a day and still be better off than the 52 minutes per day you would receive at school?  

You can also read "the Teenage Liberation Handbook" for more info on talking to your mom, and for a stronger sense of what you want for yourself.

There may be other reasons your mom wants you at school.  Perhaps it has nothing to do with the 52 minutes of teaching, but with her desiring you to experience high school with all it's ups and downs.  If you're stuck there, I'd seek out any extra-cirricular activity that appeals to you to help you find people with similar interests.

You should never MAKE somebody change their mind. Talk it over with her. Hear her side of it, ask her to hear your side, see if the two of you can come up with a solution, any solution, to make things better. Homeschooling is only one possible solution; be open to other possibilities.

Answer 4

Do you know why she won't let you? If it's because its too much work for her-look for an independent study program through your school district. They will give you the work and hold you accountable.

If you can show how responsible you can be around the house without whining about shores and such-parents are much more likely to hear your opinions.

You might even want to write her a letter and tell her about all that went on at public school.

I'm sure she cares about you. Don't give up. Do it a all as calmly as possible.

Warm Regards,

Also do a search for k-12, I think it's all online and they give you a computer.

Home schooling probably takes alot out of her, so there really isn't anything to say. What kinds of things are you interested in? There was a time when I was in school and I felt like a real outsider and it sucks. I had moved a few years earlier to a new state and I felt like everyone already had friends and there was no room for me. Eventually though I found my niche and everything worked out. Now I am happy and healthy and really miss the high school years. If you let me know your intrests maybe I can help you find your niche!

Answer 6

Has the reasons changed since she allowed you to homeschool up to the 9th grade ?   Many parents think that they are 'over their head' in trying to guide and teach a high schooler.    My thinking is that if I could graduate high school then I should be able to teach and/or guide my son through high school (with the help on the internet to research).  The same reasons that we decided to home school in the 8th grade are the same reasons we continue to homeschool.

Talk to her.  Plan your courses and show her how they can be accomplished for little expense..  Show her that you can teach yourself by reading and understanding what you read.   The technical age has helped so much with having knowledge at your fingertips.   Many colleges have free online courses and free lecture series.

Here is just one:  http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/...

Do a search and you will find several that could easily count as a high school study for you.

Answer 7

Have you talked to her about why?  She could feel that a high school is better to teach you the final grades. You could try to ask her to take some time to calmly sit down and discuss it just the two of you.  Let her know that if she thinks you are old enough to handle the high school situation, then you're also old enough to know and understand the reason she's sending you in the first place.

Its very unfortunate that you dont like it and that you didnt make very many friends.  The thing about gangs, drugs, and cliques is that no matter how crappy your school is, they are all avoidable.  You dont need to be surrounded by them just because you are in a school now.  the schools in my area are FILLED with them, and i've been one of the few people who has just accepted that its there and then let ppl know i was above their BS.  people are very clique-y, and i hate it, and i'm fortunate enough to live in a state where they have a PSEO program, so i could finish high school in three years and start my fourth year at a nearby college.  Friends are definitely hard to make, but they're harder to keep.  And do you really need that many friends at the school?  a few close people who let you eat lunch with them and help out with homework are wonderful, but if u like being independent at home, then why not do your best to be independent at school if you're forced to go back.  If you do go back, try to see how other people dress and act and what they're into (like sports), and see what they have that you LIKE, you are DEFINITELY not going to like everything. I dont mean change yourself to fit, just try new things and see if they work for you. Best of luck with your mom, i hope you get your way :)
