text: Most public schools receive between twenty and thirty days a year to be used for situations like snow days, teacher work days, and even holidays. All it takes is for a few too many of these days to be used and teachers can get behind. Which then leads to students being rushed through lessons leaving them unprepared for tests like the S.O.L and Exams. Through home schooling, students can continue to work through events that would normally cause them to miss out on school.
