Just to point out real quick K12 is an online school that is offered in some states as a public school option and free for them. I don't know if Illinois is one of those states but you can look that up through their site. I happen to live in Louisiana and it is not free here.



As to convincing mom: Mom is probably a ps grad. Some parents believe that "I went to PS and am doing just fine you can stick it out to."



Some parents tend to think that things aren't really as bad as the kids make it sound. After all how many kids will say/do just about anything to get their way.



Others feel that socialization is super important and the only place to get it is in school.



You need to find out WITHOUT whining why your mom is saying no and then give a real, substantial argument as to why her opinion is wrong/ doesn't fit you. I did not say provoke her by arguing. In telemarketing they call it rebuttal, you have an answer as to why you feel the way you do, get statistics, legal information, curricula choices that fit your families budget. You need to sell her on why you think it is important, settle her doubts, and compromise. One thing we decided on early on was that if for what ever reason Home school was not working out we would send them back. 4 years later were still going strong and loving it!
There is a number of initial fears about homeschooling. One of the biggest is the fear of not being qualified. You will have to educate yourself and your family about homeschooling. The only way to do that is go to the public library and check out homeschooling books. There are many of them. You can also google "homeschooling methods" or "homeschooling philosophies". We are Charlotte Mason style homeschoolers.

Another great place to learn about Charlotte Mason methods is http://www.charlottemasonhelp.com

The more you learn about homeschooling and your options the better you can inform your mother of it. At first look I wasn't sure about using Charlotte Mason's ideas. The more I learned the more I knew it was for us. It may take time. I also suggest that you put those methods you learn about to use over the summer to show your mother they work and that it is possible. Using Charlotte Mason methods you could learn independently. You could orally narrate what you are learning to your mother everyday. Use your library for books on each of your subjects. Also for things that is more difficult for parents to teach like math there is a company called Teaching Textbooks that publishes math curriculum that needs very little parent involvement. It is completely possible for your mother to homeschool you no matter her background.

Keep learning about homeschooling. Use the internet and library. If you come to something you are not sure of use Yahoo Answers for homeschooling questions. There are many homeschooling parents that answer questions here that will be able to offer advice.

My heart goes out to you for your situation. Good luck!HOW TO convince some one about homeschooling!? 10 points 4 best asnwer?
You have to know her objections specifically before you can argue them. If she thinks you'll become a sad and suicidal hermit, you need to go after the socialization aspect. If she thinks you'll turn out to be an illiterate and innumerate moron, you'll have to go after the academic aspect.



There also may be some hidden agendas that she'll never admit and that you likely won't ever be able to overcome. Parental guilt stuff like, "I don't like my kid that much and don't want him around the house all day," or "The neighbors will talk about me and I'd die of embarrassment because of their judgement. I won't put myself out there for scrutiny like that." (Neighbors tend to be either of opinion "She has no business teaching anyone, that kid is going to be ruined!" OR "She thinks she (or her kid) is better than everyone else! What a stuck-up %26amp;*(^%@!")
Pick up some books from the library. Read them.



Ask your mom to read them, tell her that if she reads them you can then both have an informed discussion about it.HOW TO convince some one about homeschooling!? 10 points 4 best asnwer?
well same here my mom hated to public schools where i lived and she put me in k12 which is a nation wide home-school that is all online and most importantly its FREE. except internet of course lol, but they send you a check for internet at the end of every semester. its a really cool school only problem is there points system if you fail something u fail it and there no going back. but i hope that helps. (:
i too felt the same way... and bang! jr now and homeschooled. my mom had the whole "unsocialized" aspect on her mind. and that i wouldnt do anything. that i would slack. that i would not do any sports and become a fat lazy suicidal hermit. so, i told her i would join an ice skating class.(which i hate). and go out and run around the neighborhood everyday. and i do WAY more chores than what i had to do. as for "socializing" i just talk to my neighbors lol. anyways. i went online and printed out courses that an online school was offering.and i showed her the prices. and told her i would be SUPER good. i also printed out needed courses to enter a college i want. and they said yes.
