I am in eighth grade and my mom wants to send me to a private Christian school in ninth grade. That is where my sister is going this year. But the thing is I really don't want to go. I take classes away from home and I love being homeschooled. I can go at my own pace during the day and get done at three or four or even one depending on the amount of schoolwork I have. How can I convince my mom not to make me go? I mean she's still thinking about it but how can I convince her to let me stay homeschooled??

Parents (or adults) or are they predominantly teenagers? Sometimes it's obvious (as long as they are truthful answers of course) who is a homeschooling parent when they speak about their experiences with their kids or teenager but I am not sure. I have just turned 16 and I'm in Year (grade) 11 in Australia. I am just wondering what the age group is here. Please tell me whether your a parent (and/or an adult), teenager (age if possible) , kid or child (under 13)or past homeschooler (you have now finished homeschooling). Thankyou. Honest answers only please.

I'm going to iQ Academies (virtual high school) in the fall, and my mom wants to go to an internet college in the fall as well. She has plans for us to go to coffee shops and other places to do our school work. I don't know if I'm comfortable with this...

Help?

Its kind of funny because I am a sophomore (homeschooled) and I have to write this research report for the end this quarter, so I am gathering all this info from all these different sites and alot of them statisticly say that by the time homeschooled students turn 30 years old, 95% of them vote in a national/state election in the U.S. Compared to the average 30 year old is in the 40 percent tile. And now whats so funny is that on every homeschooled question asked under this part of yahoo answers is that there are ALWAYS tons of thumbs up or thumbs down! I find that really funny I have been reading this for my report for awhile now and then all of a sudden I notice that "statisticly" yahoo answers has made me take more interest in my report! All because of the thumbs up and the thumbs down people give each other on here. I like how, "we" like to notify everyone if we, agree or disagree with them. Anyone find this fasinating?

With recent vocal opponents of homeschooling in this category, I just have to ask to try to better understand the thinking behind it:

Why is it that governments, who decide the laws about schools of all kinds and even develop and approve of some online programs, would allow homeschooling and online programs if there were any proof that by doing so you'd have a 'hermit' or otherwise unproductive member of society? (And if you say that it's because they're stupid or something, remember, these are the same people who decide what goes on in public schools, too.)

For someone who used to be an A/B student and is now struggling with public school, but is still looking to graduate?

Is home school or something else recommendable?

Thanks so much for any helpful ideas!

I'm homeschooled in 8th grade, and I often look at the "Homeschooling" category on Answers. Just curious: Does anyone get homeschooling? I don't think they do, because they ask questions like "Is homeschooling illegal?", "Homeschool haters?", "How do you homeschool?", "What is homeschooling?". It drives me nuts! Does anyone here homeschool? Can you please tell thes people about homeschooling? I try to, but all these thoughts are going through my head that I can't write them (fast enough!). Please, let me know if anyone has a brain around here!!!!!
Thanks. Sorry to sound mean, but I'm just kind of frustrated. I guess I don't really mean anything by it, don't worry.

in the united states, isn't it illegal for children to not be in school whether it is homeschooled or in an actual school? i ask this because i watched a wife swap episode where they don't send their children to school and they don't get it at home.

I've been doing home school since 3rd grade, and i've been doing correspondence high school, where they send you the books and stuff, Well, i decided i want to go to regular high school, but i dont know how they would decide what grade to put me in. Would they give me a test and based on how i do, put me in the grade they see fit? Because if they wont make me a sophomore or jr, im not gonna go, and im not gonna worry about goin to a regular school then, just finish with my correspondence. Anyone know? I think they'll do a test like i mentioned, but i wanna be sure. If nobody knows, i'll go to the school and find out like that.

Susanna Wesley homeschooled her son John Wesley when he was young. I don't know how did Susanna do it but it really amazes me. Homeschooling, unlike public schools, doesn't give our kids the opportunities to make friends with their peers in school. Do we as parents need to equip ourselves with sufficient knowledge before we can homeschool our kids? How could we possibly homeschool our kids when we are not that knowledgeable or rather lost touch with what we had actually learned when we were once students? What do you suggest the best thing that we can do as parents who want the best for our kids?

We are moving to Singapore in July and she will have just finished grade 5 in Canada. I am not sure where to even begin to set up the option of homeschooling in Singapore. The Canadaian International School is too expensive and my daughter is very nervous about attending a local school as we have been warned that there are not many expats there. If anyone can help at all with the process of what I should do or where I can get this information, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Do you think that teenagers have the right to say if they want to attend school (i.e. public, private, charter) or be home schooled. They are old enough to say what they want and what makes them happy. Shouldn't that mean they should have a say in how they want to be educated?
I know that the final decision is up to the parent but I just wanted to know what you all thought of that.
