Answer 2

The only thing they have in common are the number of school days and the subjects that are required to be taught. Everything else varies. Even state to state and family to family, homeschool may vary. It is just to much to answer comprehensively in a YA answer. Sorry.

Answer 3

The three previous answers summed it up in a nut shell; here is the link to the answers given to the same questions previously, and Jazzy has a great link for you to see the difference.

For us since we are unschoolers the difference is like night, and day.

You will find lots of answers if you search the archives of this section.

If you can provide more details on what you're looking for, we can give better answers.  What ages/grades?  By "regular" school do you mean public, private, etc?  Why do you need complete explanations?  Is this for a school report?  Are you a parent or a student?  etc.....
