Hmm. Well, I just don't put up with it.
You don't want to get dressed? Okay, fine. Don't get dressed.
Oh, and, BTW, you can forget about going to Susie's birthday party this weekend.
The decision is yours.
My kids know I mean it. Also, my only homeschooler has been to school and he knows what he's missing. So if I tell him, "This attitude will not continue if you want to keep homeschooling," the attitude stops. So depending on circumstances, maybe it's not a bad idea to send a child to school for a while. Who knows? Some kids like school, and maybe the child will want to hang around there for a while. If not, she'll definitely know what she's missing when homeschooling starts up again.
Remember that she's never been to school and has no idea about what it's like. You may see the bigger picture, but there is no way she can.
