MY MOM IS TRYING TO MOVE ME INTO HOME STUDY WAT DO I DO I DON'T WANT HOME STUDy?

Answer 1

You know what, when i was a kid my mom thought the school I was going to was not good enough for me and she wanted to send me to a private school. My sister and I went crazy - we thought it was a punishment. We told her that we would get ourselves thrown out of that school - so much we did not want to change and leave our friends. They dropped the subject.

Fast forward 7-10 years I come to find out that everyone (I mean everyone) i really liked as an adult went to the very same school I would have been sent to, if I hadn't been such a ninny and said "No, don't spend your money and energy giving me a better education! It is more important to me that I stay right where I am."

My point is that there is a lot to consider here.

Homeschooling is a way for children to find and nurture their own particular gifts and talents. In school settings there are just too many kids for teachers to allow kids to go at their own pace or spend extra time on what interests them. Who do you think are going to be the leaders and sought after employees of tomorrow? The kids with uniquely tailored education or the kids who get it out of the same can as everyone else?

There is still plenty of time to socialize - I mean how much actual social time would you be missing in school? 2 hours? Most of the time you are not supposed to be talking - but sitting and listening.

Many mothers I have told I was homeschooling my kids have said to me "Oh god - that sounds like way too much work!" Your parents want to spend their time and energy giving you the very best education you can get. In this world, you will surely need it.

Peace!

Answer 2

Homeschooling can be a very rewarding experience for you. You have the freedom to have a more flexible schedule than kids in school. Shorter lesson times and you can choose and concentrate more on subjects that interest you and can contribute better to your future. It is better to honor your parents now and have a positive attitude toward this change. Soon you will grow up and be an adult yourself and can then decide what to do with your life. For now, it is a good habit to do what your parents want. Especially when it involves your education. You will thank them in the future since even as adults we are called to accept the desicions of others (teachers, boss, police, governor, president, spouse, etc) even if we don't like them or totally agree with them. Best of wishes during these homeschool years. Make the best of them!

Answer 3

Home schooling is far superior if only because your mom loves you more than any teacher could. However, you will probably be a social pariah. For that person who said that most school don't give diplomas to home schoolers, try to pass the GED as soon as possible this way you can enter college without special k-12 status.

Answer 4

Well, she will soon realize that homeschooling works best, if both of you agree on it. Write down the pros and cons...and then talk some more! When we pulled my son out of private school (he was an A student) we promised him a trip to his cousin in Canada at the end of the school year. He was so excited about visiting her, ...he kept his motivation up the whole first year. We now just finished our second year. He can't imagine ever going back to a regular school. He plays with the neighbor kids every day.

Answer 5

Mama knows whats best. I homeschool my kids and for good reason. If you're worried about losing friends then don't because if they are really your friends they will still be there to hang out with. I homeschool because I KNOW my child is getting a good education. He will start 2nd grade inSept. 2006 and is already reading at 3rd grade level. Some of the mainstream schools are very dangerous to be in. Besides that a LOT of schools aren't doing so good.

Answer 6

1. Ask Mom for her reasons why? Hear her out.
2. Check it out? Actually give it consideration.
3. Weigh out the options. Write out a list of Pros/Cons.
4. Give Mom your list of Pros/Cons, so that she sees you have thought about it.
5. Compromise--try it for a couple of courses or complete courses for a semester. Give it a try you might like it.

PS. Both my girls are enrolled in a Virtal Academy (MNVA), they love it. They sleep until 8, start their school work at 9, usually done by 2 (sometimes noon of Fridays). They still see their friends after school hours. They also attend monthly field trips all over the state.

Answer 7

Homeschooling is a unique opportunity and if your mom is really dedicated to teaching you, I highly recommend the experience. However, you should talk to your mom and find out why she wants to homeschool you. If you find yourself being homeschooled, look into homeschool "support groups" in your area. Often these provide great social activities, such as field trips, clubs, extracurricular activities, and great friends. I haven't found myself missing public school at all, in fact, I would never send my kids to public school simply because I feel it is my responsibility to make sure they get a great education without all the "social" interaction that can detract from the actual learning that is supposed to be accomplished at school. Homeschoolers frequently do extremely well in school and it is easy to graduate from highschool (with a diploma, it is indeed available through support groups and such) and get into college. Still, talk with your mom earnestly, and then express your opinions calmly and honestly.

Answer 8

You better ask her reasons and keep your mouth shut.

Then you better have some good reasons or proove by your axtions, study habits at school that you can continue at public school.
If she wants you away from a certain crwod you better shape up.
If its for grades and education maybe you could do some of both.

Tell her you want to come to a decision both of you like.
Be willing to give in....Shes your mom.

Answer 10
