How do I convince my mom to homeschool not us?

On Friday, my mom said, quote, "I'm seriously considering homeschooling the two." (Me and my little brother) do not know what think about it. She teaches third grade and the reason was "the stuff that happens in my school ... I can not even think about what happens in middle school." I am flute and first chair piccolo in our top band, and help organize events in our talented and gifted program, not to mention I am also the president of the National School of the Junior Honor Society. I think that if I could do all those things and go straight to, I am able to overcome the things she thinks is happening in our school. I really do not want to be educated at home, it would not be able to have band due to his lack of musical knowledge. Banda is my life! How I can convince the school at home do not we?

Something tells me that if her mother came home on a Friday afternoon and said this, she was tired. Tired of administrative nonsense that goes on in schools. May have had nothing to do with any student. But perhaps there was a problem with students, parents who were strongly defend their bad conduct, or the director refused to deal with students difficult, parents or teachers. Anyway, the best way to handle this is to talk to your mother if she brings up again. Ask about their concerns. Let him know that you are aware of the problems in your school and you know how to handle them. My daughter is old school and if she was in school, I would prefer to know about the problems, they were the children not to go with etc. There is safest way to fall into the wrong people to be needy and naive. Tell him what you like about school. Your feelings are as valid as a child who wants to be homeschooled. You are not the only child who does well and enjoys school. It might be unusual a home education student have enjoyed the school's extracurricular activities when he was enrolled, but it is not uncommon for students educated to enjoy them. No strangers to the taste of them. On the other hand, many homeschooled children do well and enjoy it too., And it is not surprising either. What is right for you not for me. We do our own thing and I respect that. You still can take advanced classes outside of school if that's what you want. My daughter dances at the top with girls in school and competes in regional dance competitions. But you can not make a living as a professional actress or dancer when attending school. If that's not what you want, then you and your mom to find out what is best for your goals. Maybe you want to start the first community college, maybe you do not do. Both students attend school and home schooled can take classes in the community where I live. If you live in one of 18 states that allows students educated in home to participate in extra-curricular activities, maybe you could go band. If offered as an elective class that would have to allow time enrollment part. Finding these things because it will help you and your mom make the best decision for you. * * Only you and your mother together whether homeschooling would right for you. Happiness is individual.
