In other words, they need to be available full time for their child in order for home schooling to be an option. As a single mom can your mother afford to quit her job to home school you?
Another criteria where I live is that the child's grades in school meet the expected requirement before allowing them to home school. How are your grades?
The fact that you have issues going to school, is not a reason to home school. It is a reason to seek counseling to find out why you're having this level of anxiety. Life doesn't get easier after school, it only gets harder. If you can't handle going to classes every day because of your anxiety, how will you ever hold down a job and become self sufficient?
I think that in this case, home schooling would be the worst thing your mother could do. She needs to get the appropriate help for you so you can learn to deal with your anxiety so that you can function when you're an adult. Home schooling you now would be a band-aid on an arterial wound. It needs to be repaired, not covered up.
