How to convince the unconvincible parents to take you out of home school?

[Sarah]

You don't say WHY your parents changed schools.

You are NOT homeschooling. K12 is a public school paid for by the taxpayers. Public schools are one set of laws; homeschooling a completely different set.

Perhaps if your parents recognize you are not happy and you can show them that K12 is failing most of its students they will put you back in public school.

it might also help if you explain that you want to go to school for an education, not a social life. That is why you got to school, isn't it?

These articles should get you started (continue by following links to other articles). Oh, and be sure to mention the 22% graduation rate and the test scores below 10%.
