Convince my mom to let me attend IQ academy?

I will be in 9th grade next year. Instead of attending my local high school, i want to attend IQ Academy, which is an online school. my mom is already signed up my brother (who will be a senior) and thinks that i shouldnt just becuase i would be home with my brother. I REALLY want this because i dont like social aspect of my school, as well as i get distracted very easily. Any advice or anyone who attends iQ, PLEASE HELP!

    Well, fisrt off i would say it should be your choice, as you are the one attending school and not her. also just becuase your brother is going to be home too, doesnt mean you cant also attend iQ. if your mom says only your brother but not you, that is being unfair and limiting your oppertunities. this should not happen. i know there is a fee involved, like 70 dollars or so, and if you voulenteer to pay this yourself, there is no way she can deny you. think about this for two days. then, tell her again and agian every day that this is what you want to do and her telling you no is limiting your life expieriance. she HAS to say yes, or that is discriminating you against your brother. good luck sweetie!

    I went to high school for all 4 years at iQ academy in Wisconsin. I really enjoyed it. I started classes as a freshman, instead of going to my public school. My brother at the time was a senior. Everything was fine. normally we faught alot, but we wouldnt talk to eachother while we were doing classes. it was very convinent-i could do classes at any time of the day. i found that especially for girls iQ is a great school. im a christian and at school there was always pressure to have a boyfriend, dress immodestly, and do dugs, smoke, etc. even in middle school! so it took me almost 3 weeks to convince my mom to let me go, but it finally worked. i think you will love iQ and hat your mom HAS to let you go. i mean, it should be your choice where you attend school. and like Kayla said, it would be unfair of your mom to let your brother attend and not you. You have way more oppertunity and learn self motivation through attending iQ. you also get a ton of attention from your teachers, as in public school you dont. you can also work at your own pace so you dont have to sit and listen to a teacher talking about something you already know about-you can go through it quickly. and, you can also go slower on subjects that you dont understand as well. good luck!

    Well, you and your mom needs to talk to the school councilor. And you and your discuss what is best for you. And if you think that this IQ Academy is best for you. I really think you should go for it

    ok, this answer would only work if you have some time. i am assuming your relationship with your brother is the problem. my best advice is to try and get along with your brother as best as you can. lay off asking your mom because that will just make her upset and she will say no automatically. after you get along with him, u can ask her again in a time when she is in a good mood. she should realize that you have been getting along better with your brother and that u can handle being together
