I currently am homeschooled and before that I went to a privet school . But now I want to attend a public high school .and my parents won't let me thy say that its not good enough , not safe ,etc . Most of my friends attend the school . It offers a theater department and I am looking at theater for a job . I can take a bus .I have tried talking but thy don't listen . Thy think that am not responsible enough .
I live In north Carolina I am 14 and in the 8 grade and I have looked at all my options so does anyone have any ideas.
Thanks

Is the school in a bad neighborhood, or do you have to go through one to get there? Where do they want you to attend high school?

No and no and I will probably go back to private school

So why "not safe"?

Sorry I did not make everything clear .my parent are strict . One side of my family worked public ed for 25 years and thy are very against it . The school is a very safe school one of the best in the state .it is out in the country a little so I don't have go though any towns

So how does working in public education for 25 years make someone decide a public school, especially a highly rated one, isn't safe?

What part isn't safe?

What do you mean by "they are strict"? Very religious? If so, what religion? What do they think will happen to you if you go there?

Yes thy are religious but that's not a big part it's that thy think I won't have any good influences and the grand parents had death threats sent to them so thy think its all bad . Not just this high school

Grandparents? Death threats? Please explain.

Its hard and don't really want to go there its one of the excuses my mom uses .
But do u you have any advice though on how to get them to let me go to the school ?

First I have to know why they refuse to allow you to go there.

Are you male or female?

Many parents dislike public education, I am one of them. I do not like them based on moral and religious education reasons.

A large part of home school children when done correctly have very high test scores, and do well in higher education later.

You can not go to a school, unless your parents agree. Is your current home school, though an accredited program?

For the areas like the ARTS, some states nor require public schools to offer after school activities be open to home school children in their district. So you may see if you can be part of this program anyway. Also is there other groups that meet that you can take part in the Arts.

Also normal people do not get death threats, so yes that is important to our answers

I do not go to a public school but I want to and I was wondering what would happen if got on the school bus and went to the school
What would the school do ?
Thanks
Oh and I'm In high school

You have to be registered... you have to be assigned classes... you have to be assigned a home room...


You don't just show up...

If I did it how long do u think I could go

if I did it how long do u think I could go
You wouldn't make it through the first class... they take roll in home room and every class... YOU won't be on it and the teachers will know. In many classes you won't have a seat to sit in.

Get your parents to register you...

Where are you registered right now? Private school? Home schooling?

Like Smoothy said, you wouldn't make it through one class. You can't just go to a school you're not registered at. They keep records of every child that's registered for every school year. If you're not on the list, you can't go.

You could get cited for trespassing and you would get truancy for not being in the school you belong in if you are going to a different school. How do you think you would even legitimately get to spend any time in one single classroom?

You would have to enter through the school office to get into the school. You'd need to enroll with your parents present. So, it's not going to happen. Why do you want to attend public high school?

Here's more of the story.

The OP is apparently home schooled and his/her parents don't want public schooling. The OP wants to joint he theater group which is available at this specific school.

Without the parents permission, it's not going to happen. Besides, even if the school didn't catch on, your parents would surely notice that you're gone 6 hours a day during school hours, 5 days a week. Don't you think?

It is law most places -in the US- that homeschooled kids ARE allowed to fully participate in activities, clubs and sports. I'm thinking maybe though that it may be some religious reason though and they still may not let the OP join.

My daughter is Cyber Schooled through the state. Because it is a state approved program, she is allowed to attend, for free, all school activities in our school district. She still has friends in the school and last year she attended dances. She is allowed to take part in after school clubs and other activities. The only thing that she is unable to join is band and that is only because they have band class during normal school hours.

So no, you can't just show up at school but depending on where you are and what program you are in, you may be allowed to participate in school activities. You would need your parents to look into this and sign you up if they were willing.
