Ah, now your into the problem of actually convincing her.

I’d imagine that will be quite difficult. Depending on her look on it anyway. Me personally, I hate the idea of homeschooling and if I had any kids I’d be very against them not going to a regular school. Regardless of what kind of crap your going through, it’s still an important part of your development. I’m not too long out of school, and I know I’d be an entirely different person if I’d been homeschooled. And I’m pretty sure it would not be different for the better.

That’s fair enough.

Things can always be sorted out, if things are getting really out of hand you can involve the school authorities. I still stand by my original homeschooling is bad statement.

Being homeschooled is a hard job. Would your mom be OK having you home to be homeschooled. and would you be disciplined enough to keep up with the curriculum yourself without having teachers to tell you to do it on your own? How old are you?

I can guarantee that if it’s a serious problem and you go about it the right way than at least your school would take it seriously.

ok, if you go up to your mom and say that……lets just say things are being done…….she’s GOING to listen! trust me, try to tell her, and if she doesn’t listen, say it anyways! yell it! not as loud as you can cause you don’t want the whole neighborhood to know, but seriously! just tell her, and if she ignores you or says she’s busy, say “no mum, I’m not going to wait! this is happening to me!” (whatever that is)

You say your mom works so who will teach you? (unless she thinks you have the motivation to do the lessons by yourself) and those programs can get pretty expensive so those are some reasons your mom may say no. Try to come up with possible answers before asking her. good luck convincing her!

yea, that’s true, but if public school s harmfull for her emotianally, that can lead to depression, and we all know what that can lead to.

hummm I have been educated at home all my life… it need not be expensive at all…

Considering I got 2 a’levels when 12 then I am not doing to badly.

there is nothing wrong with being educated at home and it need not be expensive.

right, but if you’re going to be getting a lot of books, they are slightly more expensive than public school, and those can all add up more and more.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being homeschooled… My brother did it for a while. In the US, colleges won’t give you credit for homeschooling unless you take it with an accredited program, which are pretty expensive.

Homeschooling is great! Children learn faster and more effectively with less distractions/harassments. As for the books being expensive - try your local public library. If mom has trouble grasping the concept have her check out some homeschooling websites or talk to a local homeschooling support group. You should really have a tutor or someone checking in on you though, the idea of you doing it alone is a bit scary. I’ve homeschooled my daughter for a year and a bit, and her grades have improved. She has also completed 2 grade levels.
