Although some may make claim that taking a course at home provides for more personal time to complete other necessary tasks, and can learn the same information as those who are attending an actual school, those that are not educated in a school aren't receiving the same fulfillment and educational opportunities as those who are educated in a school environment. Some may also believe that at home courses aren't as complex and are more flexible, but they allow for more mistakes, and less knowledge gained through them. Schools are not only beneficial but are crucial success not only in the courses they are taking, but in future roles, whether that be, for example, in a career, or becoming financially stable. Secondary options to attending a school, like courses at home, are not the same and do not hold the same roles or positions as a school do in the sense of a person's success. In 1976, Viking 1 snapped a photo of what looked to be a Egyptian Pharaoh.
