How does school educaton differ from home schooling?

I have been both homeschooled and public-schooled, so... - Public school is taught by credentialed teachers; homeschoolers are taught by parents or teachers of classes they choose to take - Public school students "go to school" every day; homeschoolers go to school at home, attend co-ops, or attend nearby classes in subjects they choose - Public school students receive homework every day; homeschoolers may or may not receive homework, based on what their parents say - Public school students follow a strict schedule every day (about 8:30-3:30); some homeschoolers have more freedom in their schedule (although some might have less freedom, it just depends) - Public school students are around lots of people & their friends every day; homeschoolers might or might not be, depending on their schedules - it's up to them - Public school students have their classes, homework, and daily schedules dictated for them; homeschoolers can do schoolwork or take classes whenever they want to & on what subjects they want to (but they still take all of the basic subjects...) - Public school students have to learn at the same pace as everyone else in their grade; homeschoolers can learn at whatever pace they want to, so they can "skip a grade" easily or spend more time on things they don't understand So...there you have it, that's all I could think of. I was homeschooled through seventh grade, and then I started attending a public college-prep school in eighth grade. Both were a lot of fun and very rewarding experiences.

Is the success rate better in home schools than traditonal schools?

I am unsure of the exact turnout, but I am a homeschooled child and I am highly advanced for my age.I'm not sure if homeschoolers get better jobs or whatever, but I do know that public schoolers (no offense) just get passed through even if they're scores on tests are moderatly good. If I make a moderatly good/bad score or percent, my mom and I can talk about the mistakes. If it takes a little extra time, that's fine. But mostly we know the material really well, as apposed to public schoolers knowing it ok but not great. I think it's better to know what you're doing than to pass but do it badly.
