Homeschool World Forum

It sounds like your mom doesn't want to even consider homeschool for you.

I think NY state homeschooled kids still have to pass the Regents' so maybe making this switch now won't resolve your concerns about that anyway?

Your mom knows you very well and she appears to want you to just do your work and stop looking for an easy way out.

You say the school is building stress on you.

Maybe you and your mom could talk together about setting up a daily schedule of study and work you will commit to and stick to in order to finish while she could help you de-stress regularly.

HS'ing mom to one college freshman, one 12th-grader, + 5 littler kids

(BTW--I've never in my whole life ever applied for any job where they asked to see my high school diploma. I've never heard of anyone being asked to show their high school diploma in order to get hired for a job. Most people are aware of this if they stop and think about it. Yet it's one of the most common excuses used nowadays in opposition to homeschooling: "You won't get hired (or accepted to a college) because you won't have a diploma."

It's simply not true. This particular so-called "need" for a diploma has no basis in reality, AFAIK.)

Well thanks for the reply, i'll still have a talk with mom see how she feels explain some stuff to her etc, whats your 12th grader usal day ? Just wondering to get some ideas or etc.
