How do I convince my parents to let me go to a Private Boarding School?
I'm in gr.9 @ a public high school & hate it. there's a wide margin of the types of people that attend-But even if you're from an educated -well off family its hard to ignore the crappy druggies,ghettos & sluts. Sometimes it actually feels dangerous to be in the same hallway as them..all they do is swear & act like jerks! I've really tried to ignore them but I've realized that I can't imagine myself wasting my precious high school years at this school! For gr.7 & 8 I attended a really good middle school school & was in an advanced program, everyone was nice & around the same level, they were intelligent but not geeky either, & were all from mostly well to do-families..they actually had some class!!! I really want to attend a private school, because i need that environment. I know that my parents can afford Private School. If there was one in the area my parents would send me to it. BUT the problem is that the closest one is like 1 1/2 hours away. & my parents are not convinced to send me to boarding school (there seem to be a lot of good boarding schools in the toronto area too)..I think ta ht boarding school would make me more independent (& even tho i would get a little home-sick) its worth it, & that i would learn to appreciate my parents more & Vice versa...I've already done some research but don't know how I will convince them! I really need to get out of this school(there isn't much option for high schools in my area & the only reason i'm attending this one currently is because it offers the i.b. program-which i know a lot of private schools offer too) I understand that public high schools can be good too but it's all an individual preference & i don't think its working for me.. I would really appreciate any help, because before i used to actually look forward to school & now i dread it!! Ya, i know this passage was a bit long, but thanks for bearing with me! :) Oh & btw i live about 2 1/2-3 hours North East from Toronto Ontario
How can i convince my parents to let me go to a private school?
That private school you chose looks like a really good one, however, it's also very expensive. I don't know what jobs your parents have, so some of these options might not be right for you. - You can apply for financial aid. The school helps you pay for your education there as long as you are qualified to receive assistance. - You can apply for a scholarship. Most private schools look at your grades, entrance exam, and recommendations. As long as all three of these are top-notch, you will probably receive some type of money grant. - You can convince your parents that it is true that private schools are better than public schools. It has been proven. There are lesser kids there, meaning that teachers will have more one-on-one time with you. Plus, parents of the students actually PAY for them to go to a nice school, so they are involved in their education. I've seen that in public schools, some parents are sort of careless. And yes, it is possible to transfer from a 10th grade private school from a 9th grade public school. You will have to call the private school's guidance office to see what their transfer policies are. You might have to have teachers from your current school fill out recommendations and send out report cards, or you might just have to take an entrance exam at the private school. Also, just contact the private school and see what they do about the credits you have earned. Most likely, they will accept the credits that you have.
Focus on the fact that your school, an educational establishment granted official licensing by the country’s ministry of education is organising the trip and consequently all dangers have been carefully reviewed and weighted. Tell them how, for all the years it has been running, not one student has been injured etc etc. Finally get to the emotional part and ask them to respect your wish to pass one last overnight trip with your friends at the supervision of your teachers, which is a totally normal thing to wish to do as a 15 year old. Make them understand that although you are always going to be their baby, you are growing up and at some point of your life, you will eventually leave your home. It is high time you did, at the supervision of your school officials of course and with your classmates, at a protected environment.Wish you all the best and please, tell me how it goes!!
Hey, I feel you here. Sometimes I feel the same way about going to a private school.Well first, prepare yourself. Take a look at the school website. Read it. If you want, you can contact the school for info. Do your research.When appropriate, ask your parents if you can talk with them. Take them to a computer or an electronic device. Tell them you've heard good things about the school you want to go to, and you're considering going there.They will most likely be interested in what you're saying, so show them the website. When reading it, look at the main highlights of going there and emphasize them. If transportation is an issue in your family, see if they have a school bus program. Show them that. If you're into academics, show them the facilities and alumni. Look at everything good on the site. Check the fees page last.When you show your parents the cost, ask them if it's affordable. If not, see if there are scholarships available. Be flexible and go with whatever they say.When you've gone through the website, sow them some ratings and reviews online. That should hopefully help.Let them decide. It's up to them.I hope this helps. Good luck:)
How to convince my parents to let me go to Public, or Private, school?
Interestingly, your question has better spelling, structure and grammar than most of the answers! It seems to be serving you well. That said, what is the experience you're looking for? Is it that you want to be around more kids? Do you just want to get out of the house? There may be a way to get what you're looking for without actually enrolling in a public school. There are lots of clubs and outside activities that you could get involved with. You didn't give a lot of information in your question (I know it's hard in this format) but what you did write was well written so maybe you could sit down and write your parents a letter. Sometimes putting something in writing is a way to give them a chance to digest all the points you want to make and give them time to think about your request without the knee-jerk reaction you think you're getting. I recommend that before you give them a letter to wait a day after you've written it. That way you can re-read it and make sure you said things the best way you can. You'll see your arugements more neutrally if you wait a bit after you write it. Good luck. Either way it goes, make the most of it and have a great life!! <3
When my kids wanted to leav school, or skip a class, they just called me or texted me and told me why and what they were doing before they skipped. Then when the school called to notify me of their absence, I already knew and wouldn’t be mad. I didn’t expect that they would have to deal with any consequences of skipping, like lunch detentions. I would even call and excuse them from the class if they had a valid reason for leaving. Sometimes it was because their project wasnt ready and it’s the due date. Or they do t feel prepared to take a test that day and need more study time. Or even if they know the class activity that day is something that gives them much anxiety and they really dont want to participate. Protests, not feeling good, and even other people’s bdays or mental health crisis’ have been reasons they asked to skip. As long as they told me BEFORE they skipped, we could go on without an issue. I expect them to respect me and be honest. They expect me to be reasonable and calm. I would just tell them why you need or want to miss the class. If they aren’t really strict parents,they will at least take your request under consideration. Your honesty having asked them and let them know your intention goes a long way with building trust
How should I convince my parents to let me attend a private boarding school out of the state???
From listening to your tale, what i'm getting from you is which you do not think of approximately effects earlier you do issues. whenever you think of you choose to do issues, you merely do them and then are stunned once you wind up getting your self in difficulty. It sounds to me that the form and strict self-discipline of a boarding college are the suited issues for you. in case you save getting your self in difficulty like this, you are going to wind up in penitentiary...and that they try young ones as adults youthful and youthful now. A combat on the college bus could finally end up with criminal costs a pair years from now, quite than merely getting kicked off the bus. Regardless, in the experience that your mothers and fathers choose you to flow to boarding college, there is not something you're able to do approximately it. jointly as you will locate some thing (somewhat) undesirable to do to get kicked out of boarding college, you extra helpful think of approximately that first. There are worse places they are able to deliver you. in case you have any sense in any respect, you will tow the line and act precise at boarding college, so which you will not might desire to be there very long.
The best way to convince parents of anything is to first understand why they prefer their choice over the one you are requesting. If you can make a case that achieves their goals and mitigates their worries, you will stand a much better chance. Also, give them an out - for example, they can alter the plan if you get in a fight, or your grades drop, or the plan is only for one year and then you can re-evaluate it. Knowing it's not necessarily permanent will make parents more willing to consider it. Add a twist to your argument by giving them a list of benefits that may not be on their radar - sports or band or robotics (and related scholarships), for example. Finally, explain your own reasons for wanting to do it. Maybe you feel stress from your current education model and you want to enjoy learning rather than stressing about it, or maybe you have friends that go there and you want to be plugged in to that and have those shared memories, or maybe it's just a life experience you want to have. Bottom line, your parents don't have to be convinced you want it really really badly, but that it will be good for you in some way. So build your arguments around what will make them feel better as a parent instead of making it a power/control argument or an emotional plea.
