Homeschooling

Question: How can we convince my mom to homeschool us?

I really want to be homeschooled. And my other sibs do to. we've done our research and we can still do high school sports even when we are homeschooled and we feel the environment would be a better learning experience. We just don't know how are parents are going to pay for the books, and if mom is going to have the strength to teach all 13 ( there are 16 kids, and my oldest sis is a senior now, so she'll be in college then, and the 2 youngest are too little) of us next school year. Leslie, my older sis, says she'll help teach us between her classes at community college, and me (almost 15) and my 16 yo bro could also help the little ones, and we could raise money over the summer for books too. is it a good idea, we're thinking about putting together a presentation and presenting it to the rents next week. we'd each have a part, like i'd go over how it could keep us out of future trouble (since i have this weird knack for that). what do ya think?

Answer: home school rocks!
it is a wonderful opportunity for both the parents and the child. I was home schooled all my life up to now (dual enrollment 11Th grade/college). home schooled kids have a lot fewer problems than most public schooled kids. we make Friends very easily, we get along with most people because we are not raised in "cliques" like most kids. in MOST cases we have BETTER social skills than public schooled kids because we get to be around a lot more types of people. my parents made sure that we got out in the community, went on field trips (home school groups, 4-H, and many other community clubs), spent time in museums, got to talk/know the directors of at least 3 museums (2 of which I still have contact with, great home work helpers), and we were exposed to "real life" every day. while public schooled kids were reading about sea turtles we were touching them and talking to a Marine biologist. while public school kids were studying the civil war we were reenacting it, you get the idea... my dad is a college math teacher too, so from the academic side we are well educated. One thing I find very funny is that I started college 2 years early and I am in more advanced classes than 95% of the high school grads from 2006. I also have 5 friends from my home school group that started 2 years early with me. in Home Schooling I was not exposed to drugs, alcohol, school shootings, racism, and a world of other problems that public schooled kids have. I did get real life experience, a great education, am not in any way racist, don't do drugs, drink, or go shooting people I don't like.

oh, and do not listen to any one who says that Home Schooling is bad for kids. it is not. I am living proof. I have great social skills, and lots of friends. another option to Homeschooling Kids aged 16 and up is dual enrolment at the community colleges. all those classes are free, but you have to pay for books. my mom orders my books on line, and found one book for $5 when it costs $125 from the school bookstore.

I want people to see the "real story" on Homeschooling.. many have the idea kids are locked in their house studying 8 hrs a day. this is not true at all.
and how is sitting in a room with 40 other kids that were born within a year of you the "real world"? where in the "real world" will you be in that kind of situation?
