I want to be homeschooled, but my parents won't let me no matter that I don’t like public school. Do you think homeschool would be better?
Homeschool is better. I'm a homeschool parent and I work. There are many misconceptions about the school system.Everyone thinks it works. It doesn't. Children waist more time in school due to distractions, improper teaching, and stressing homework.You don't have to know every subject inside and out to teach it. Public and private school teachers have been doing it for years.Social interactions. This is BS. Has anyone met these kids? I wouldn't trust them to walk my dog. My son has all the social interactions he needs. We go to the dojo, he has friends on our street and around the neighborhood.Its costs money. Nope. Its completely free. Now there are options where your parents could enroll you in a private homeschool system where they keep attendance records, verify curriculum, and even issue diplomas. Those run about 300 dollars per school year.The law. The law has changed. Teachers complained so much of crowded classrooms that the DOE approved all these different homeschool programs.Look at K12.com. (my friends wife teaches for them) It's completely free. (They will even give you a computer if you need it). It is a registered school in your state (they're nationwide). They send you all of the materials, class connect sessions with your teachers so you actually have a time to report. And all your parents have to do is register you, provide copies of your birth certificate, and immunizations record.I mentioned K12 because it sounds like your parents are not sold on homeschool. If it's because their time may be too demanding; this will solve that. If it's the fear of price; it's free. If they're worried about attendance; you're tracked and the teacher will notify your parents if you're not in class.I'll admit that it was a lot of work in the beginning. That was 4 years ago. I write all the curriculum. And I do it to aid my son to his job goal. Police officer. I managed to obtain books from my friends that went through the academy (federal is a bit different) and one of his classes is Criminal Justice.
My parents won't let me be homeschooled?
i started high school about a week ago (i'm a freshman) and i can't stand it. it isn't just not liking it, it makes me anxious to the point where i'm physically sick. i can't focus in class because i'm trying so hard not to cry. unlike most people my age, i like learning, i want to learn things. but i can't learn anything in this school environment. i seriously looked into homeschooling and i think it could be a really good fit for me, but when i try to explain it to my mom she ignores me and continues to think of it in the same way. i understand that's it's hard work, possibly harder than school, but i wouldn't mind that, that isn't the part of school that gives me such bad anxiety. she keeps telling me i just have to make the best of school and even told the guidance counselor on me. it's so frustrating that she won't listen to what i have to say. any advice? thank you
Why won't my parents let me homeschool myself?
We aren't your parents, so we can't possibly know. Even if they make the leap of faith to understanding that unschooling works for some students, they might still not believe it's for you or them. They are a part of this and your decisions, as you're a minor. Talk to them. Whatever is concerning them, you have to find ways to work that out.
My parents won t let me be homeschooled. Help, please!!?
If you really want them to consider online schooling, you should start by seeing the therapist like they want you to. In spite of what you hear, homeschooling does not magically cure anxiety or depression. It's pretty clear that while school may trigger your issues, they go much deeper. If you switch to online school and do not work on getting well, you'll most likely be unable or unwilling to attend college or work when you're older. College is very stressful and work isn't simple either. Online or homeschooling can give you the space to deal with mental health issues, but it isn't the magic pill you have been lead to believe it is. Add to that, it would be irresponsible to leave a 13 year old 8th grader alone and solely responsible for his online education from 8am until 6pm. That is very isolating and will compound mental health issues. I'm not trying to be mean, but without being upfront with you, I don't think you'll be open to hearing the truth.
Why won't parents let me homeschool myself?
I am a 10th grader in a private high school. I feel like I am not doing very well and my parents say if I don't do well in school, they will take my phone away. We are doing exams and I have been studying for a literature exam and they said they would ask me questions. I am not interested in tutoring. I am worried I will fail again. I just want to be homeschooled and they always say "No". What can I do to make them let me homeschool myself? I go to a school far away from town and my school is over 50 miles. HELP!
I really want to be homeschooled but my parents won't let me?
Many of the really successful people in history never finished school. I think public education is just a lemming factory anyways. Maybe you're not lemming. No matter what you do, you will have to work hard and take pride in your work, with or without a diploma. This is the really important part. Where I'm at you can legally leave school at 16. It IS possible to leave school and still ace your GED, get higher ed., and be successful at a technical job.
How do I meet other teenagers as a homeschooler, with parents who won’t let me go to school co-ops or join any local teams/clubs?
Oh boy, I’ve met an other poor soul who’s parents are as isolating as mine are. Have no fear, because I have ideas!So, the best way for you to meet other teens (and provided you’re at least 16 years old) is working at a summer camp. You spend a whole week getting to know the other counselors and the kitchen staff (who are close to the same age), and that’s a terrific way to make friends! Just keep in mind that once the kids get there, this is going to be a job.Do you go to church? My mom does, and she’s usually okay with me helping out with Confirmation classes and things like that. That’s a good way to make some amigos.I’m sorry that I don’t have any more ideas. I had to deal with being alone until the beginning of this year, when I started my first camp job. This may be something that you just have to power through, unfortunately.Keep your head up, kiddo! Things do get better <3
My school won't let me homeschool?
I had a local mother tell me this, too. It seems the school district runs a 'homeschool' program where the children are enrolled and they attend 2 days a week. In order to put bodies in the district's program (which is fully funded) they lie to parents and tell them the only way they can homeschool is with their program. Not true. Parents have every right and the law on their side when it comes to choosing how their children are raised and educated. Do not let some petty school employee (who is not trained in either law or medicine) bully you or your parents. You know the schools wouldn't have to teach you children how to handle bullying if they hadn't first taught how to bully, don't you? I don't suppose your "counselor" is a part time 'therapist' too?
