Personally I would have your mother see if you can stay in public
school longer so you won't be out be educated for those weeks.

If your mom is convinced you would be better off being at home and not being schooled rather than staying in school until her resignation is official, then I would have to say (based on what little info you have given us) that the benefit of waiting for the resignation is not worth it. If she thinks your better off at home, she should walk away and not look back.
If that is not an option and waiting for the resignation to be official is the only way (financial reasons, I'm sure) then she should keep you in.
Even in Texas (with our amazinginly homeschool friendly laws) you would be considered a truant and your mom could get in to trouble and have to answer a lot of questions. It could even jeopardize her job and the resignation could be lost anyway.
Does that all make sense?
Now, I'm not a lawyer or anything, but that is IMO, and if someone called me on the phone, that's the advice I would give them.
Best bet? Your mom should keep you in school, and call HSLDA or THSC first thing Monday morning, and explain her predicament.
good luck hon!

If you're coming out of the public school system, it's probably better that you will have some time off to "decompress". I would recommend that when you start back up, you start slowly. Start with just one or two subjects, then add another subject every month or so until you have a full course load (6 or 7 classes). This way, you can ease into homeschooling without being all stressed out (you know, like in public school).

You are on NO deadline to get "homeschooled" right away. You can start to work on your own, using your textbooks or getting curriculum from the library so you won't waste the time. Don't worry though, she doesn't have to legally do anything until the end of the school year.

i think of it extremely is great. So could Suzanna Hupp - Suzanna Hupp testifies until now congress and remembers the tale whilst George Jo Hennard drove into Luby's Restaraunt, in Killen, Texas, Oct. sixteen, 1991, then opened hearth on consumers, reloading a number of cases, until he killed 23 human beings, wounding 20 greater, then ultimately killing himself. She comments with regard to the l. a. riots and the guy with the semi automated rifle protecting his relatives.......

It'll be fine. You don't have to file papers or anything in Texas and you can learn some things on your own. Pick a novel you want to read, go to the library and pick up some science or history books, lots of things you can do on your own until your mother can get a program set up.

Trust your mom on this one. If she has plans to withdraw you before she can get completely set up, she has her reasons. I have been a teacher myself and I have known students who were taught by their parents at home. Many of them did very well academically. There are also home school group activities for students who are taught at home. I understand they can be fun AND educational.
Perhaps your mom can give you some things to do to help prepare a "school-like" setting in a particular part of your home to make the transition easier. Hope all goes well!
