Try find out the good point of better alternative like going to the actual school.
And try to understand why your mum not sending you to the actual school, is it because of the financial constrains?
When both parties understand each other, then a better decision can be made :)
My suggestion is to list the positive things about going to school. I.E. making more friends, joining clubs and sports which look good on college applications and share these. Tell her you appreciated homeschooling but you are ready to be more involved in school. i was homeskoolled from 2nd grade to 8th and i hated it too! just ask her or better yet slip her little hints... be like "mom im so bored i wish i could be with my friends right now, i never get to see them" or something like that, good luck, e-mail me if u need any more help!
sk8ter_geek@yahoo.com Ask her if it would be OK to attend a public or private school. Let her know that she would still be in control of curfew and all the social stuff. I'm guessing that is where your mom may be a bit wary Talk to her honestly and openly. Think about your reasons for wanting this, and lay out your case (in writing if needed) beforehand. Then, catch her in a good mood, or at a good time. Realize that she probably takes a lot of pride in homeschooling you, and that there are reasons that she chose this method. Jot down what you dislike about homeschooling and what you think you'd prefer about government schooling. Then talk to her about it. She may send you to school, or you may be able to work together to make homeschooling a better fit for you. Just remember, it's likely she's got your education and well-being in mind. You need to speak up! Remember the worst she can say is no and if she says no you are no worse off, plus you could ask her why, maybe her answer will surprise you or help you cope with the situation. But let's think positively that she says yes, bingo, you get what you want, you're going to school, how exciting!
I say work up the courage and ask but do it in a way the doesn't offend her like "I hate homeschooling etc etc". Just say "Mom I have given it some thought and I would really like to go to school instead of being homeschooled, what do you think?" And then just wait wait wait and listen for her response. That should cue you into the next thing to say. If she says why, tell her why (more people my age, it seems exciting, I think I would excel blah blah - you may want to list out your whys ahead of time) Good luck and remember to ask for what you want for in life, it is your life, get what you want! Here's the dealio, in order for your mother to respect you wanting to go to public school she's got to be able to trust you. Examine your lifestyle right now and find the key things you know you are good at. Point those out to her and then ask her what it would be like to be able to make those points in your life stronger b going to public school. When you do get to go, don't become someone your parents wouldn't appreciate. In the long run make your life easier by just being a good kid. Have confidence in yourself and not in what others think about you! Source(s):
I was a homeschooler and asked to go to public school! Did what I said, and it worked.
