Help what should i do to escape homeschooling and am i cooked?
I’ve been homeschooled since COVID hit when I was 7, and because of a lack of supervision on online programs, I fell incredibly far behind.
I’m in 8th grade now but I never memorized my multiplication tables, my spelling isn't great, and the academic gap feels overwhelming, especially since my mom said we would work on 7th-grade math over the summer but we never followed through with it. On top of that, I haven't regularly seen kids my own age in six years, and turning 14 soon just makes me feel completely lonely and isolated.
My dad fully supports me going back to public school for 9th grade next year, but my mom is completely against it, getting angry and telling me that "life isn't a Disney show" and that I should stay home to go to college early. I don't care about college right now; I just want a normal education, real teachers to help me catch up, and a chance to make friends, so how can my dad and I convince her to let me go back?
