All children in the United States have to receive an education, but it doesn’t mean they must get an education in a school. Now lost of parents wouldn’t like to send their children to school. Children who are taught at home are called “homeschoolers”, It is said that there are about 1.5 to 1.9 million homeschoolers in the United States, about 4% of school-age children.

Some parents would like to teach their children at home because they do not believe that schools can teach the correct values(价值观). Others believe they can provide a better education for their children at home.

Now there are many websites about home education. Many parents teach their children at home and use the Internet to exchange(交流) ideas. It is interesting that homeschoolers often do better in reading and math than those at school.

It seems that getting home education is often more interesting than going to a traditional school. But in fact, most parents don’t have time or wouldn’t like to teach their children at home. So most children still get their education at school.
