Answer 1

Homeschooling is not something you simply try. It is a commitment, and it is a lot of hard work. If you are feeling this way, then talk to your mom about why you stopped. Was she overwhelmed? Does she work and is short on time? Were you and your brother resistant to her efforts?
If you still have your text books, then hit the books and work hard. If you do not have any books, then explain to your mom that you want an education whether that means going back to school or getting back to work at home.
Which ever way it works out, work hard. Learning is not something that just happens, it is hard work, no matter where you are.

Answer 2

How old are you? You need to sit down with your mother (is there a father in the home? if so, talk to both) and have a serious talk about the need for academic study.

Some people do what they call "unschool". It comes in different forms and the parents expect the children to learn what they want when they want. Personally, I don't think that this is right for you.

You need to focus attention on your own academic ability and needs. Take a placement test for Saxon Math --- make sure you have all of your math-facts memorized. You can use flashcards to do this. You will KNOW when you have them memorized. Build your confidence by doing the work. Complete one lesson of math everyday.

Do not watch television or play video games. Video input diminishes the thought process that you will need to become a really good student.

Write a page about anything that interests you. Write one everyday and give it to someone that can correct it for you and show you how to fix the spelling and the grammar.

Find the very best books to read. Read everyday for a minimum of 2 hours. If you are reading older classics it will be the best! You will learn spelling and grammar by reading the works of amazing authors that understand the importance of words and sentence structure. Read, read, and read. Find the most interesting subjects and read everything about it in an encyclopedia. The encyclopedia can make you very smart! Read, read, and read. Read your Bible too. It is full of great information and helpful lessons about how to live your life.

Math, writing, and reading. These three things will take you from feeling stupid to knowing how you are truly smart and capable of studying and learning everything that there is to know.

Answer 3

How old are you? If you are under 16 and you 'kinda stopped' schooling, then you should be in the public school system. Kids under 16 need some kind of schooling and in fact, the law says that they have to be in school. Home school or public school, but they have to be somewhere. Home schooling is great, but it isn't easy. And it isn't something you can do for a while, then stop, and just let your kids drift away. Your spelling is abundant proof that you need more education, and you, yourself, already know that. That's why you feel embarrased around kids your own age. Your parents aren't really being fair to you on this.
Here's what you do:
Tell you mom you did the home schooling for her, but now you want to go to regular school with the rest of your friends. Be aware, though, that you may have to do some makeup work as it appears that you have fallen behind in some areas.
If you are over 16, you can still go back to school. In Canada and the United States, a child is entitled to free public education until he or she is 18. If you are over 18, you can go to night school, or go to a college and take the remedial courses that they offer there for pre-college students.
The new school year is just starting, so now is the time to make up your mind what you are going to do. If your mom still wants you to be home schooled, there are on-line schools you can register in, where you work at home but have on-line tutors and correspondence course work sent to you.
Check with the school nearest you, or go to the school board office, and find out what your options are.
Good luck to you. You sound like an intelligent person, and you know you need more education. Now go get it!

Answer 4

I was home-schooled for 2.5 years (spring semester and 2 years) during middle school due to sexual harassment from fellow students as well as a horrible level of education. (I was in the gifted classes, but they weren't challenging at all.) I was part of a home school group for a year, where families would gather for social events and such.

I ended up going to public highschool and a few colleges/universities. (UNC, NC State University, and 3 community colleges, as well as PCDI... I kept major hopping *LOL*) and the sexual harassment continued in highschool, but at least I was back in social contact with others again!

I don't know how old you are or if you're only posting this as a joke, but there's no excuse for so many typos, especially when there's a spellcheck on the same page!

I've had profs give failing grades for comma splices or incorrect use of "their/there/they're" ...and not just in English courses.

Answer 5

You should use spell check,and I'm home schooled also,and I proudly tell people that.You shouldn't feel embarrassed,and you try to get back to home schooling,too.And if you are feeling like an outcast among kids at school,you should remember all the great things about home schooling,like being able to sleep in,having more free time,and being able to have a good relationship with your mom.

Answer 6

first, your spelling & grammar are hideous!!
Second, what do you mean by "stopped"?

Your mother should have a certain cirriculum that she must follow so you aren't falling behind other kids your age. Maybe home-schooling is more than she bargained for? Or is it that you are feeling like you are missing out on social activities that you might have if still enrolled in an actual school?

Answer 7

It sounds as if your mom finds it hard to find time for your studies or it is more then what she bargained for. If your mom is not going to give you what you need to stay homeschooled, then ask her if she could put you back into school. You need to learn your studies somewhere. Don't let her slack off on them. Don't be embarrassed about anything that you do, just let your friends know that you are homeschooled. That should not be an issue to them.

Answer 8

If you all are keeping up with your lessons you shouldn't feel inferior or embarrassed. Your education should be about the same. Maybe better, however you may be missing the opportunities for socialization in regular school. Talk with your mother. Maybe she'll let you go back to school. But don.t be embarrassed if you are doing your schoolwork.

Answer 9

Tell them the truth: that your ignorant mother thought she could better protect and educate you than professionals.

School is as much about socialization as about education. If you had stayed in school, you would have had a much better chance to learn how to get along with other people, and thus, you would be able to answer this question yourself.

I'm so sick of parents thinking they can do a better job than the public schools. I believe the real reason they do it is because of (1) religion, or (2) they are afraid of what other students will do to their kid. If parents would simply raise their children correctly, they will have no problem at all! Parents, send your kids to SCHOOL! Stop trying to protect your child. It will only backfire on you later. Don't you realize that might happen?
