A) If you want her to homeschool you, then your question is irrelevant. She is the one who would have to teach you, right? You didn't say. If she is, then she probably knows she can't teach you, doesn't have the time, doesn't care to put the effort in, can't afford to, lots of possible reasons.
B) If you are asking this because she thinks less of homeschooling in general, and you just want her to see that hsing has merit, there are lots of things you can tell her. You could mention how colleges LOVE homeschooled kids. Or how much more you can learn in one day of one one one education, rather than all the messing around that goes on in public school. Or how a family can focus on what the child needs the most help with...or has the most interest in.
If you are asking because you have problems at school, you need to sit your mom down and talk about those problems...seriously. Maturely. Don't hold out for her to homeschool you, that is the biggest commitment ever. It's a lot of work and stress for the parent.
If you are asking because you think hsing is about staying in bed late or playing video games while everyone else is in science class, then you don't want to homeschool. :)

I don't know what your goals are in both education and in convincing your mom that homeschooling is not bad, but I would suggest dropping the idea that you want to convince your mom of anything. If your goal is to convince her, it's not going to work.
Instead, make your goal to understand her. Understand and listen to her, then share with her what your perspectives are. If you are having trouble at school, then ask her how she can help you, and ask for her input. If you are not getting something at school, do some research on the various options on how to meet your needs, and see which ones seem viable to her. You want to come to an agreement, not wrestle a reluctant acquiescence from her.
I'm going to assume you're a teen. If so, focus on becoming a responsible, proactive, and inspired person. Someone who your parents can really trust wouldn't jump into something just because you are running away or rebelling against something.
Knowing some more specifics of your situation would make it easier to help you, but unless there is a serious reason why you HAVE to convince your mom that school is hurting you, then focus on the more important things: your relationship with your parents, your relationship with yourself, your relationship with the world around you, and knowledge of your options (homeschooling isn't your only option). When you focus on these things, the rest of your life will fall into place.
Good luck!

I think that homeschooling is not that good, because there are not many chances to get to University, but you can tell her that you can learn more stuff by taking homeschooling, and you are going to be far from fighting in the schools and all that problems that came from going to school.

I think you really miss out on a lot if you with homeschooling. The social aspect of school plays an important role in everything. You miss out on that entirely being home all day everyday.

That is your mom's decision. It may be what you want, but not what SHE wants.
If both the parent and child want it, and the parent is willing to do the WORK of being the teacher, then homeschooling can be wonderful.

You need to figure out what it is that she thinks is bad about homeschooling so that you can tackle those specific issues. You could even just ask her one day, say, "Oh, okay," when she's done then work on ideas for counteracting what she has issues with.
If you already know what she thinks is bad about homeschooling, then please tell us so we can give you specific links or suggestions.

Take a maths book that is new to you. i.e from next stage of your education. Learn the contents in the book by yourself and ask your parents to give a test on the topics studied.
If you score good marks, then it means that home schooling is a good option.

You might not be able to, but homeschooling is by far better than any public school. Check out these websites, there our favorites.
