My mother says I have to go to school on the first day of Eid, because, according to her, "you can celebrate in the evening, because I'm going to be home early, since I'm starting my new job."
Meaning of Shirk according to The Qur'an
" Worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah " or " distributing anything exclusive to Allah, to anyone or anything else "
Meaning of Tawheed according to The Qur'an Worshipping none but Allah. Affirming whatever is exclusive to Him, Him alone.

Complaining never solves anything; it always only makes things worse. Always have a happy and positive attitude and mindset.
So you're not able to have holiday on Eid; neither is a whole lot of people. It's just one of those things. You can have whatever celebration you want in the night, though. So instead of looking at the negatives, focus on the positives.

Assalamu alaykum,
Whether you are at school, work, or unwell or preoccupied, nothing takes away the utter joy and happiness one feels on Eid. It is such a blessed day Allah swt has gifted us with alhamdulillah, that Eid feeling is just *there*, no matter what, and nothing can take the joy of Eid away from you, whatever you may be doing or however you are feeling.

The `Eid Salaah has to be made, of course. A person has to attend the `Eid Salaah and Khutbah. School is not a valid reason for not going for the `Eid Salaah. We're referring to a person not taking holiday on `Eid; however, the `Eid Salaah and Khutbah you Have to go for, regardless of whether you have school on that day or not. The Deen is more important. Just go to school later on that day. If the teachers complain, so what. Who gives a monkey's...
People stay out of school for Baatil reasons. Why can't they even just come late for the sake of Allaah Ta`aalaa. They can go to school after having attended the `Eid Salaah and Khutbah.

In that case, it was necessary for you to go even if she stops you. Your parents cannot stop you from doing what is Fardh, nor can they force you to do what is Haraam. There is no obedience to them in that.

Did she put forward a reason for doing that?
Yes, a Muslim must obey their parents, but not when obedience to them means disobedience to Allah swt. They can't, and shouldn't, prevent you from doing what it fardh.
You're 17, couldn't you have just gone for like 15-20 minutes for the prayer and then come back?

Oh turner of the Hearts make my heart firm on Your Deen

she didn't give a reason.....and I don't have a driver's license, and I can't walk to the masjid because it's too far and I get tired from walking easily anyway.
