trying to convince parents to homeschool

I really want to get out of public school and just get homeschooled already.. 11th grade just started. i know it probably really late to get started but i heard that at my age i can self teach. ive tried asking my parents but their response is we dont have time to sit down and teach you and neither of us are teachers.. ive explained to them you dont need to be a teacher or take time ouf of your day for me.. they think im making it up and they tell me im wrong.. i want to show them im right somehow so that they homeschool me.

any ideas?

and if they say yes.. how do you start it like how do you confirm being homeschooled out of the blue.. do i have to call the school and let them know and all those kind of details.. etc etc

im looking for a nice detailed helpful answer i have no idea about this stuff

Go to the public library and browse through the books on homeschooling. You will probably find several books you can show your parents about how kids your age can study independently.

Go to your local community college and find out what they usually do with 11th-graders. Many high-school kids take courses at community colleges. The advisers and counselors there will help you with all your questions.

Check out your state homeschooling laws on-line. Your parents probably have to notify the authorities in writing that you will be leaving public school (maybe 15 days in advance, or something like that). Whether they also have to notify them that you will be starting home education depends on the state.

Google up homeschool support groups in your area and see if the people there can give you any specific help.

You can teach yourself most things. You might need help with a few subjects, but online courses (or a few minutes of your parents' time) should be sufficient for that.

Check out the Robinsoncurriculum.com or A2 (I forget the website). Those are both self taught curriculum.
