Answer 2

Are you worried about your mom's reaction? Or just worried that she might say no?

Don't ever be afraid to tell your mom how you feel. She pulled you out of school because she cares about you; she will likely be very open to hearing your feelings about it if you do it in a responsible way. (I mean, not throwing a tantrum, yelling at her, accusing her, doing the pouting thing...)

Now, if she's only just pulled you from school, do be prepared for her to say that she won't let you just yet. Sometimes parents can see a bigger picture that kids can't--or won't. To give an example: I was at a homeschooling event with homeschooled kids this summer and this one girl--I'd say grade 7 or 8--was a very prissy type (even talked with an "I'm so helpless" voice) but was thoroughly embarrassed about the idea of people knowing she was homeschooled. Even though everyone around her was homeschooled. She'd been homeschooled for a year already and still was completely focused on what other people thought of her.

As a parent, I could see why her mother would not let her go back to public school. There was no amount of explaining that would have done that girl any good. And maybe your mom won't be able to explain to you why she's going to keep you homeschooling, if that's what she decides to do. Just trust that she's doing it because her knowledge and experience say that it's the best thing right now, and make the most of your experience. Figure out a way to make homeschooling a better way of life for you. Maybe it'll mean convincing your mom to get out more or to find a family volunteering situation or inviting friends over for supper during the week--she could even give you some 'homework' that you could do with your friends over.

Answer 3

did your mom take you out of puplic school because of the friends that you had in school? Meaning: where you getting into trouble a lot with them? then i don't think that she will so easily agree to put you back if that is the case. if it has something to do with how the school district is run that she doesnt agree with then that may also be a problem for you. If there is a solution to this show her how well you will do. Nagotiate some thing like if you dont do well the next semseter that she can keep on homeschooling you. and that if you do well in school that you should be allowed to continue out the school year as long as your grades keep up. and the further a long you get doing well you should be able to stay in school with your friends. good luck! :)

I think you should just tell her. But if you know the reasons why she decided to home-school you in the first place, you can ease her fears on these points. Like if she worries the school authorities will try to put you on prescription drugs (as happens sometimes and which is pretty scary), you can assure her you won't take them. Or if she is afraid you will be exposed to recreational drugs, assure her you have no intention of taking street drugs and would never try them (and don't!) -- or if she is simply afraid that you won't learn correctly, tell her about the below web site which helps people study -- and that you will study well and learn, and she can still help you with your schoolwork to be sure you are learning enough.
I had the same situation when I was a kid, and got homeschooled for two years, and my mother was the one who decided to let me go back to regular school so I could be with my friends. Social interaction is very much a part of growing up!
Good luck to you!

Answer 5

Then print up this letter and hand it to her.


Dear Mom:
I'm really glad I had the opportunity to home school, and some parts of it I liked very much. But I really miss my friends and some of the things we did in public school. Now I would like to go back to public school. For Christmas, I would be really happy if you would enroll me in public school and let me start at the beginning of the New Year.
Thank you

Answer 6

Hello,

I am a homeschooling parent. I agree that you should express to your mother why you want to go back to school. I think she may understand.

Please know that your mother is only trying to ensure that you have the best education possible. Homeschoolers DO learn a lot and usually excel when it comes to education.

Were you learning alot in school? Why did she take you out in the first place? Socialization is important but your education is more important. I know that sounds like a stuff shirt ole mother but in the end, it's your smarts that will land you that job and into college. Friends will come and go.

Just make sure that if/when you go back to school that you make your mother and YOU proud by doing your best. You sound like a smart young woman.

wishing you all the best. :)

Answer 7

Trust me dont go back there are to many pressures at school im trying to get my mom to homeschool me just plan out time to go hang out with your friends every weekend and play a sport or do extra curricular activities like volunteer church etc

Answer 8

my mom took me out of homeschooling the first semester of 7th grade, I DIDNT LIKE IT. I sat her down in my room and told her i couldnt stand the changes, and i wanted to see my friends she said she understood[do you believe that] She was acutually having difficulties to homeschooling me. So at the end i did it for the second semester and got enrolled back into school the begin of 8th grade. Im in 9th now.

Answer 9

Talk to her, say you respect her decision to homeschool you, but you really don't feel it's working and you would like to go back to school.

Lay it on real thick about what a great mother she is and how you would pretty please like to go back to school and your chances of success will be phenomenal.

Answer 10

hear to the clarification why she thinks you're able to be homestead schooled. and what are your motives to choose to bypass to public college? there is for and against and it relies upon on the guy subject.
