Difficult to get a proper education in today's public school system. There is a general lack of discipline leading to much distraction for the students that are actually there to learn something.

Look at the statistics for success in college and standardized test scores comparing public school children to parochial private and home schoolers. Those in private/homeschool do much better.

I was able to homeschool my kid for a while. When she had to return the next year to public school, the teachers couldn't believe how far ahead of the rest of the kids she was.

More individual attention from someone who really cares, lessons tailored for the kid and their interests, keeping them engaged in learning longer - making them want to learn more...it's difficult to beat if done right.
