Well, I'm in the process of trying to get homeschooled as a freshman right now. This site really is helping as I read it because I hate my school right now. I'm actually trying to make a PowerPoint on why I should be home schooled and from reading all these other topics, it really does make me feel like I have a shot.
Wow, that's exactly my case. I'm making a PowerPoint as I browse this website, quoting off facts to maybe help convince my mom it is the right thing to do for me.
I've just got the problem that my parents are divorced, and my mom says yes, she's behind me 100%, but my dad is just saying no.
i homeschooled till third grade, and now I'm a freshmen and I've hated school the whole time I've been in the system.
yup....this site really helps!
That's so akward, my parents are also divorced. I homeschooled in the third through forth grade until they got divorced -- I returned to my great private school, then this year (9th grade) I got through the first semester at my public school alright, but... the system sucks. :|
I haven't proposed my opinion to my dad (although it will be my mom's decision in the end), and I have to work on an actual curriculum/financial "scenario" in order to convince her.
I am homeschooled. I really enjoy it. Some reasons why we went was because I got tired in the long days of school. Some others reasons are 1) no bullying 2) personally I learn better 3) you can end school a year earlier in some states 4) no homework 5) you can pursue other subjects you really enjoy 6) some people find people that are homeschooled are better in the world (being polite, etc) than other kids. But that's just some people's comments. Anyway, I hope you can get homeschooled!
It depends on why you want to be homeschooled. If it's because you just want to get out of doing work, then forget about it. However, if it's for a legitimate reason, like you're being bullied, or you think that you would work better that way, then you might have a fighting chance. There are several arguments in the homeschool community, and luckily for you, I know most of them. :D
First off, homeschooling can be a lot better because you can learn at your own pace. So, if you get really interested in a subject, you can continue to research it and learn more. You can also take something a little slower if you don't understand it.
Secondly, you can honestly make better friends. In public school, you see people every day, so there isn't much of a fight to keep them. Homeschooled, you don't get to see people often, so there is more of an effort.
Thirdly, most colleges look for homeschoolers and you'll often get accepted because of that. Jobs are the same way. Most of my friends have jobs as soon as they graduate.
One big thing you can do is if you have any homeschool friends, introduce them to your parents. Let them see that all of us aren't crazy!
Try to be an adult about it, don't whine or anything like that. Present your arguments in a simple, straightforward fashion.
One last argument is that homeschoolers can talk to people of all ages, while public schoolers often freeze up around older people and aren't sure what to talk about.
Hope this helped!

it all depends on the legal requirements in your state or school district.
