Brittany,
I find it laughable that you're criticizing him on his spelling errors, when you seem to have many yourself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why not sit down your mother, and express your feelings. You should be able to come up with some sort of agreement.
-Best of luck!

This is a tough one.
First, I am a firm believer that you can learn in almost any environment, learning depends on the student more then the teacher. Public school may not have the same atmosphere that you are used to and may expose you to more bad habits, less discipline, etc. but there are opportunities for growth and knowledge to be found there. So you can get A's without trying, who cares - try anyway, you'll never regret it I'm sure. Home-schooling should have helped you develop some of the self-discipline that enables you to govern yourself, make your own decisions, and be self-motivated even without someone pushing you to do so. These traits are possibly even more important in public school - you may have to continue to teach and train yourself. That's okay though - you're an old pro at that if you've been through some home-schooling.
I was home-schooled from 5th grade until I took my GED at age 16 and started taking classes at a local community college. I am now in my senior semester at college with a dual major in History and Political Science and will graduate this May with honors. Next fall I will start in on a Graduate degree in Counseling. I don't believe that home-schooling is in any way harmful to one's social development; in fact I have found the opposite to be true.
I would be honest with your Mom. Tell her everything you're thinking and feeling about the issue, be as adult about it as you can and see what she says. Remember though, regardless of what she says or what is decided you need to be more proactive about your own education. What it boils down to is that only you can determine if you will learn or not - no one else can do that for you. If that means putting forth more effort then any of the other students, assigning your own special projects on topics that interest you, and/or spending more free time at the library - so be it. I can't imagine you'd ever regret it.
All the best to you and Good Luck!

I homeschooled my kids for three years. Currently they are in public school and I have definitely noticed that their language isn't as appropriate anymore. They all have straight A's. I'm assuming that is because they actually learned a lot more doing homeschool and this is mostly review for them. I don't know how old you are. If your mom is working she might not want you to stay home by yourself. I would tell her what's on your mind. Give her the pros and cons of B&M and home school. Maybe you could study at someone else's home who is also homeschooled provided this wouldn't cause them to be disturbed. I don't know, it's a tough one.

Write her a letter, with everything you just told us. Finish the letter with you'd really like to talk to her about it sometime. Hear her side out if she does decide to talk to you about it.
You can't necessarily ensure that the two of you will see eye-to-eye, but the above will at least take a step in that direction.

I think that if you get your reasons together and state them plainly, your mom will at least listen. She might not agree with you, and if she doesn't, you need to obey her. Many people are not comfortable teaching their own kids once they hit high school, so if that is your mom's objection, there are plenty of self-study and video programs or online programs out there.

first of all... i know that it is probably hard for you to understand your moms reasoning for putting you into public school, but it was probably the right thing to do.
1) you need to get used to being around other people your age, otherwise you will be lost when you go off to college and get a job, and your mom cant homeschool you through college.
2) i know that the real world is scary, people swear, fight, ect.. but just because you go to school with them doesnt mean you have to be like them.
3) try starting a support group, there are a lot of kids that get put into public school after being homeschooled for a long time. They all have the same problems as you, and it would probably help if you had friends to go through it together with.
4) i really dont think homeschooling was that great for you because you spelt a lot of things wrong in your ?..(homescholling, behvae, eveything, butch, studing, mymom) and you use commas way too much... jsut to let you konw:-)
