It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. (lemmy.world)

Home is used differently than house. I'm home makes sense. I'm house doesn't (which is your school and post office equivalent).

Also, I feel at home but I don't feel at house.
