How To Convince My Mom To Let Me Do Online School

How can I convince my mom to take online school?

First, think about WHY you want to online school. If your reason is valid and actually beneficial to your learning, give an in-depth explanation. Some parents do not want their kids to online school because they think that their child will not be able to develop social skills, and that it is not as good as having an in-person teacher.However, lack of social development is not a problem if you are a part of a serious activity with a firm community. For example, my eldest daughter is a musician and a dancer. She is growing socially every day, even though she is online-schooled, because she learns to interact with the girls at her studio and the people she meets at competitions.Yes, it is true that having an in person teacher that you see every day would be better in terms of communication and understanding. However, some online schools have video conferencing, as well as easy parental access. The upside to online school is that you are free to learn at your own pace- you can go as quickly or as slowly as needed. So weigh those options, ask your mom if she would like you to be able to learn comfortably at your own pace.Many kids who take online school end up having more time on their hands to nurture their passion and become a professional in their field. Some also graduate early, because they are naturally fast learners and did not have to wait for the rest of the class.

How do I convince my mom to take me out of online school and do homeschool?

If you are under the age of 10, then she more than likely wouldn’t mind home-education. Online testing for young children is stressful on young minds. Constant institutional settings isn’t really the best place for young minds to learn. Play and participation in various activities is more important at that age.As a parent and mother, most are VERY concerned that their own children will not function unless they are well educated in different things. This is the case for those who are between the ages of 11–14. If you are between the age of 11–14 and can show signs that you are willing to “study independently” the parent will willingly allow you to do home school. But if you are consistently playing video games, getting into trouble in the stores or other public locations and/or goofing off, the parent is wiser to encourage you to study through an online education or other type of institutional setting which sets the pace.After the age of 14, most children can function on their own “independent study” by giving assignments and then asking the children to do those things. Depending upon the overall values of the parent will determine who the parent agrees to allow to teach or what factors to put into education. Some parents want more college bound focus. Other parents want more moral value focus.

I'm 14 and I want to do online school. How can I convince my mom?

Haha….I was your age when I wanted to do online learning. I still attend an online school three years later. My mom was so against online learning when I first brought it up. I made a really nice poster board and my mom wouldn’t even take the time to look at it because she was so against the thought of online school. In the end, I ended up protesting and refusing to go to school (I don’t recommend doing that.) That got her to sit down and listen. Try not to take it that far. Now, my mom loves it and is so happy that I attend an online school!IF I WERE U, I would sit and really think about it and make sure you are all in. Come up with a few good reasons on why it would be a good option for you. Present those when/why/where reasons to her. Over my years of trying get stuff from my parents, I have realized that you should give your parents time to think about it and make a final decision. I don’t have the patience and always want an answer right away, but you should try. Gently bring it up to her every now and then.When does your current semester end at your current school?If it ends the last week of January like a lot of school in America, than this is the perfect time. Tell her how switching during the semester will hurt you academically and how if you switch school now, you will be able to start on time.IF your family has money or your family’s income is low enough to get financial aid, I would tell your mom about online schools, such as Stanford’s online high school. You get to learn from Stanford Professors in high school, what mom wouldn’t want that?Please make sure this is truly what you want. Some things that I will miss out on and you will too are prom, high school sport teams, clubs, graduation, and senior year activities. Academically, you will feel alone! U won’t know if someone else didn’t do good on a quiz or if your classmates found something hard. You will feel alone! ***Online schools offer some of those activities, but barely anyone attends them. The people that do attend are the socially awkward type of people and the ones that got bullied in regular school. You will lose social skills after awhile of not attending a brick and mortar school.Sorry my grammar is awful, I am on my half broken iPhone.

Read your comment : I know exactly what you mean.My parents forced us to move schools a lot too and it's easy to integrate when you are pre-teen.I found that after that age people are in their little groups of traditional friends and you are an outsider.So tell your mother that you need to do online study because it's academic study like they don't do at this school and also commit to doing social extra- curricular activities which mean you have a chance to make friends.I couldn't handle a school with fighting going on inside the buildings either.I've been to schools where the students were like caged wild animals and your school seems similar.I don't understand why intelligence is despised by school age kids: maybe they realise that they are stupid? I was the educated polysyllabic geek with glasses as well. Hide your light under the nearest rock is the only advice for smart kids, I feel.How about you find if there are any schools for gifted children in your area ?You could offer your mother options then: smart kid school or online school.Certainly trying to attain an education surrounded by hyenas and jackals is going to be difficult.Good luck.Keep on studying … it's better than not.

How do I convince my parent to let me be home/online schooled?

Depending on where you live, there will be laws that support an online education, or restrict it.If your local laws support that, you might find that your school has online classes available. If they are offered by the school district itself, your parents might be willing to let you do it for a year.Don’t ask them to let you do it for the rest of your education, because they won’t agree to a long term plan they haven’t seen proven.Ask for one year, just to get a break from having to deal with being at school.Many places have homeschool communities that get together at a park or community center once a week. (Often called “park day.”) Even homeschooled kids who are doing their courses online, can meet up with a community of homeschoolers to have that “socialization” so many parents are afraid is missing if kids don’t go to school.Middle school age is definitely the very worst age for a kid who tends to be bullied, to be in school. Parents sometimes ask me, “I want to homeschool my kid for a year or two, but I’m not going to do it for their entire education. What is the best time to homeschool them?”And I always say if they’re only going to homeschool for one or two years, do it in middle school.Some kids are just bully magnets (I was). By Junior and Senior year in high school, I wasn’t being bullied. But in middle school I felt never safe. And in high school, it got better, but not as fast as I would have liked.If you can look up the laws in your location, and the online school options, and put together a kind of “sales packet” for your parents, a sales presentation to sell them on the idea of letting you learn from home.Include in the pitch, contact resources for the local homeschoolers’ groups, what coursework you would do, how, how much will it cost them, and what you will do if you have lessons you need help with. Parents like having teachers their kids can ask questions to. If you are doing classes online, there may not be teachers to ask, and they might be worried you will want their help. They may not remember all the history they learned in school, anymore, or may not have progressed far in math, etc.In other words, make it easy for them, and have a plan for how to get help if you need help they cannot provide.Look up “homeschooling” and your location (city/county/state/country, whatever makes sense for where you live) and you will find local resources.
