How I am supposed to get my parents to home school me?

Try going into more detail with them about exactly what it is you **** about public school. Is it the teachers, students, policies, or influences? Share specifics with them, and try to hear their reasons for wanting you to be there. Maybe they’d rather homeschool you but have had to make some hard financial choices and just can’t afford to be home vs. working? Maybe they see something in your character that they are trying to strengthen through having you endure public school, or maybe they are intimidated to homeschool you in the older grades. I have no idea of your particular situation, but would advise being very descriptive with them in the reasons you want to go home to school.

Your answer to that lies in WHY they quit last time. You must find the reason for the lack of homeschool now. If it is that they are unequipped (not well enough educated at this higher level) to help you, then you are doomed, girl. IT is not a case of “How to GET my parents to homeschool me!” That sounds awfully prideful and bossy. You are trying to find out how to persuade them.

However, there is also the concept that you are to knuckle down and obey those parents. Let them see that you are willing to be a good worker even in hard circumstances.

Maybe there is not enough money. So, go find computer classes that are free.

If it is that you had boyfriends over during hoemshcool times - ehy you are BUSTED.

So, find out the true reason you were sent to the public school and then go from there. Ask a different adult to help you find these answers - a pastor or a relative.

I dont know

I think your parents are making a call about you making more friends, or perhaps, they have hit Algebra II and think that maybe the teachers are a better fit. Give it up, do what they say, I think they know you, and this situation best.

You have to deal with it? Hmm, sounds like they want you in public school for a reason.

If it is indeed for social reasons, I don’t feel this is the best year. I remember in the 8th grade when the teacher would leave we would turn out the lights and throw desks. Is this what they want you to learn?

Make the most of it and take tennis or something. Or band. All the homeschoolers I have met were more mature than me. I would rather put a child into high school, if I were going to do such a thing.

If I were you, I would say, “why” “why” “why” until they gave me an answer. At least then you will know what you are supposed to get out of being in public school. I can’t see not giving you an answer, at least, for why they are doing this.

My parents wanted me to go to Bible college for a semester. I thought I was supposed to find Jesus, so I swore off men. Did not talk to any guys all semester. Turns out they wanted me to find a Christian guy. This is why it is important to tell your kids what you want from them. Otherwise, you may not get it.

I decided to do homeschool in high school and I got my parents to let me drop out by going into deep depression and hating everyone and skipping school and getting horrible grades and the only thing they could do to keep me in school was to let me do homeschool

I agree with your first reply that you need to explain exactly how you feel to them. Then listen with an open ear to why they chose not to continue to homeschool you. I know that is going to be hard to do but the more mature you are in the discussion the better it will help them to see how serious you are. I think a main point is going to be you showing them you will buckle down and do the work. No parent wants to homeschool a child that is unappreciative or lazy in work ethics.

If the reason they quit was money then I would suggest looking into a charter school. These are typically free, include everything you need for the year and often times include a free computer if you need one.

If the reason they quit was their fear of your higher subject matter then suggest that you can try it yourself. If you feel this strongly that you want to homeschool then be willing to read the teacher guides yourself, go online or to the library if necessary to find your own answers. Between a teacher guide and the internet there isn’t much that one couldn’t learn.

If it was due to attitude or lack of motivation then this is the time for you to correct those issues and prove to them you want this. Start to help out around the house more, be more obedient if necessary. Show them you will be an asset to have home all day. :o)

If it was due to social issues then I would check into local youth activities, sports, church youth group, homeschool groups, or any other organized group you can find. This might help ease their thoughts on the socialization issue if you have scheduled time with other kids.

I wish you the best of luck in discussing this with your parents!
