1.5 million students are home-schooled to spare the student from the bad environments, to provide a non-traditional approach to learning, to avoid the unsatisfied academic instruction, and more. Homeschooling overall virtually always provides a better, more fulfilling, and higher learning experience in comparison to public school. Visiting places like the library, parks, and local historical sites is not only educational, but much more interesting and healthy for a growing mind. In the 2009 California Achievement test, home-schooled students made significantly higher scores in all subjects than students who studied in public schools.
