    Is here a textbook or lesson sheet you are supposed to also read and think about?

    So you are failing because the teachers really aren't doing their job?

    If they enrol you in a private school, then they can abuse you any longer, because you wont be at home.

    I dont know, something doesnt add up here. It takes money for private schools, so your parents must be pretty well off ?
    I'm a girl, I'm just now starting to be around teens my age... but most of them are four to five years older than I
    And my father owns a few companies

    Did you have trouble with teachers and school and maybe were failing when you were in public school?

    So if you don't know how to do something, what do you do about it? Just quit? Ask an online teacher (a chat room) or what?

    This isn't really homeschooling. It sounds like programmed learning (sort of). Are your parents involved at all with helping with teaching you or tutoring you?

    Yup. Seems like homeschooling isn't working at all. Plus, you don't seem to like it very much.

    Homeschooling isn't supposed to prevent interaction with other kids your age. Aren't you in Scouts or 4-H or a church group or on a sports team?

    Let's do this. Let's put our heads together and think of the perfect situation for you for school. What would you say it is?

    Most home school kids have activities with other kids, programs from sports, to dance to martial arts, to fitness. Others have home school groups that meet for some classes or for play time.

    There are kids in the neighborhood that you play with in the evenings.

    There are church groups, 4 H, Scouts and more.
