How do I convince my mom to let me be homeschooled? =(?

  • I really want to be. She wont take me seriously. She just think i dont "feel" like going to school. Im miserable in school. Id be so much happier being homeschooled. And id ...show more

  • Answer:

    As said before me: First assignment! Put together the pros and cons, and an a personal essay as to why homeschooling would benefit you AND your mother. Make sure you give details on why you would like to homeschool in the first place, and give resources on how y'all can get started. If you do your part, and educate yourself on homeschooling so you can help educate your mother, best case scenerio, she'll give into it. :) Don't give up! Show her that you're dead serious about it.

How much does she know about home schooling? Do some research and show her what you learn about it on your own. Make it your first "home schooling" assignment and make it good! Then ask her to grade it and reconsider your request!

Check out this book: it has a chapter on talking to your parents about homeschooling: http://lowryhousepublishers.com/TeenageLiberationHandbook.htm You can get a used copy online for just a few dollars. And for the person who said homeschooling costs a lot of money: it can be done for free.

well tell your mother how it affects you persoanlly, also, she is probablyinterested in your education, so appeal to that side, tell her you would learn so much more as you would be able to learn at the speed apropriate for you, and wouldn't be dragged down by any other students

Take a look at the literature of this homeschool curriculum. The principles of the curriculum were designed originally by an educator named Charlotte Mason. Charlotte Maria Shaw Mason (January 1, 1842 – January 16, 1923) was a British educator who invested her life in improving the quality of children's education. Her ideas led to one of the primary methods of homeschooling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Mason http://amblesideonline.org/ http://www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/projects/mep/default.htm

keep telling your mum how sad you are and that this is your decision and if you want to get homeschooled she should let you.

I was home schooled until grade 3 and loved it. I hated public school and begged my parents to home school me again. They never did. What I ended up doing is educating myself in many areas I wanted to learn. In the end I would say that 95%+ of what I know is self taught while only a small amount was given to me by others. So if all else fails you can learn in spite of your schooling. Good luck.

To add one point- homeschooling does NOT have to be expensive. With homeschooling, you can pick and choose to meet your mom's criteria. Try googling virtual schools in your state. Many of them give a free computer and curriculum (all books) and teacher guidance so that is often a good option. Google homeschooling sites, which have eloquent stories of kids who homeschooled and are happy and have great academic success.Share these with your mom. Show her a plan so she knows you're serious about the school part. Good luck!

Have you considered an online school? In Florida, we have Florida Virtual School, but your state may have something out. Connections Academy may have something to do in your state. Those are FREE online public schools, with full accredited courses. If your state doesn't have any, you can always enroll in a private virtual school.
