I never understood that "homeschooling" thing.... Is any of your parents a qualified teacher/educator? Do you get an external teacher to teach you about all subjects?
Odds are that the answer is no to both those questions... what do you learn? Or rather, what is taught? What sort of quality teaching do you get out of it?
My dad is an educated man, but even he knew that, after my 9th grade, he couldn't keep up.
He could tell me all that I'd need about insurance law, but... there was no such subject at school... there was maths, and languages, and sciences (I took the science path, so I got a few of them - at first, Earth sciences and life sciences... then in 12th grade, physics and chemistry) and labs and philosophy .... and stuff.
No matter how qualified you are on one subject, you cannot teach all others, past a certain level.
I get it that you'd be lost in a public school, but some schools have programs specifically targeted at people with special needs, like yourself. It may be worth investigating further than what your mother tells you...
