Home school VS. Public school

For my compare and contrast essay I have decided to write about home schooling versus the public school system. These to subjects have so much in common, but yet such a perplexing difference. I choose these two subjects because I know a wide variety of information on both.

Besides school, these students need their social interaction and activity time to keep their minds occupied. Home school and public school both allow these opportunities. Public school students spend their days inside a school building, plus multiple hours after school finishing homework, leaving less time for sports, or other activities.
Approximately 43 percent of students in public schools reported being bullied from 2010 to 2014 by the National Center for Education Statistics. Of those public schools the percentage only increases. While a student learning the same subjects at home
