    Anytime you say “school” without “home” or “online” it means a building people go to. The original gets naming rights, the others have to distinguish themselves.

      home education has been the primary form for most of human history.

        In fairness, people were much more communal than society is now. And there’s a bunch of stuff that we did for most of human history that is no longer the norm. Even something simple as a “phone” no longer means what it used to.

        I think you’re gonna have to take the L that a “school” by default is not at home in the modern world.

        Public school are schools run/funded by the public (the government)

        Private schools are run/funded by private businesses.

        These are schools.

        No one refers to your home schooling as a “school”. We refer to what you’re doing as home schooling.

        Sorry bud.
