So yeah. I’m not necessarily doing “good” in school but I’m doing better than I have in past years. However there is still one problem- I STILL HATE IT! Maybe it has something to do with my parents switching me(and for some reason JUST me) to homeschool. Or maybe its just the pure pointlessness of some of the classes? But still my point is is that people(my parents especially) say that I should enjoy school cause of how smart I am and all that bull. I’m not denying that I’m smart, and I’m not saying school is hard. School is like riding a bike, but the wheels are on fire, so are the handles, and the seat and everything else cause your in hell. But what is the big deal of me not liking school if I’m doing well?
 
Well, you don’t have to ‘like’ school, but what I see here is an attitude well on its way to problems in your adult life. If you are so smart then maybe you should start collage at an early age or change you name to ‘Sheldon.’ Just saying. Peace.
 
You can dislike school all you want. Your parents are trying to make you aware of something that you’re not aware of. They are trying to tell you that life doesn’t get easier with age. In 20 years you will look back on your schooling and say two things: I’m glad that’s over, and, I wish I didn’t have such a bad attitude about it because it involved very little responsibility compared to what I have today…in other words, I wish I would have learned to enjoy it.

I promise you, there will be jobs you hate FAR more than your worst day of hating school. Learn to suffer through.
 
GAmen to that & somtimes you won’t be able to walk away from a job you don’t like. Not if you need to keep over your or someone else’s head.

You gotta get a high school education. You need to either learn a trade or attend college. I hated grade school. I hated college too. But I got my two year degree in Forestry anyways. I didn’t like the journey but I sure liked getting done ✅

Just thinking out loud here, but they’re probably just sick of hearing you complain about it.

I’m sure you know why they decided to home school you and not your sibling(s), but it probably wasn’t because they were so looking forward to having a whiny teenager going on about how smart he is, how unfair it all is, and how he hates school.
 
I actually don’t find my self to be to “smart” anymore. My parents think that I should be the smartest kid in the class( that’s literally what they said) even though I’ve tries explaining to them that the classes in taking are more difficult than classes that I’ve taken on the past and it’s just not as easy as some classes have been(I’ve never been good at math or anything like that. But SOME classes have been easy for me. But not all of them) in the past. I know that I just have to work harder and I am doing that and getting the best grades I can. What I’m trying to say is’nt that I have no desire to learn or anything but that SOMETIMES I CANT LIVE UP TO MY PARENTS HIGHER THAN ELCHAPO ON 4/20 STANDARDS. And that’s I guess is the reason that I don’t like school. I feel like whatever grades I get and however much I learn it’s never gonna be enough to satisfy my parents. They say “as long as I try my best what ever grade I get is fine” but when I try my best and get a B then I get scolded for not having an A. Sorry if you found this thread kinda pointless or stuck up. That wasn’t the point. But I think I’ll close it if that’s possible.
 
Sorry if I misunderstood, dear, but I was just going by what you wrote in your original post.

OK, so you’ve changed your tune from “I’m smart and it’s boring” to “no matter how hard I try, my parents are never satisfied.” You’re probably right – it probably isn’t good enough for them. And they probably do believe you could do better. Why is it so shocking to kids that their parents believe in them and hold them to a high standard? Do you really think it would be more loving to just let you slack off when you think something’s pointless or not fun enough or interfering with your free time?

Look, I’m a mom, and I’m a teacher, and I’ve taught literally thousands of children. Some like school, some hate it. Some make excuses for everything, and complain about everything – bad AND good, go figure – and some just move forward without a lot of drama.

It doesn’t matter if you love it or hate it.
It doesn’t matter whether your teachers are brilliant educators or completely inept.
It doesn’t matter whether you think required courses or work is “pointless.”
It doesn’t matter if you think the whole setup is unfair.

You have a job to do.

School is your job at this point in your life.

Jump through the required hoops, complete your required courses, get your high school diploma – and then you can do and be whatever you want.

And chances are, whether you understand it or not, your parents probably have your best interests at heart, and they probably know you better than you think.

Be strong and get the job done.
 
If you have trouble with math go online-UTUBE-and look for Math Made Easy types of videos. They help a lot. Peace.
