Yes, homeschool is when you are taught at home by a certified teacher.

Public schools are bigger, you go to the one in the district you live in.

Private schools you have to pay for. Not all, but some are religious, like Catholic or Christian. In those schools, you are required to take some religion classes and attend mass.

Vocational schools are schools that teach you job-specific skills. For example, if you want to be an electrician, you go to a vocational (or trade school) where they teach you those things, instead of just going to a public school.

If you are asking which is better, that is EXTREMELY debatable. It really depends on the school. Homeschooling really loses the social aspect because you aren't around people your age 24/7. It doesn't necessarily mean homeschooled kids are dumb; one of the smartest girls I know is homeschooled.

Public vs private. It really depends on the schools. and in vocational school, they don't take the same classes as other schools. like I said, it's pertaining to what their job is going to be.

i don't get the question, but ya, home school is just being at home, or someone else's home, with a certified teacher. public is the school that is assigned to your area. private is a school you have to pay to get into and follow their rules, which can differ because private schools can pretty much do whatever they want. I'm not sure what vocational is...
