      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.

          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.
