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.

Not really, German here:
"Ich bin zuhaus(e)" -> "I'm home"
"Ich bin in der Bäckerei", "Ich bin bei der Post", "Ich bin bei den Großeltern" -> "I'm at the bakery", I'm at the post office", "I'm at my grandparents placeI'm at my grandparents" (or "I'm with my grandparents")Small correction:
"Ich bin bei den Großeltern" → "I'm at my grandparents (or grandparents’)"
"I'm at my grandparents’ place" only exist as "I'm at my grandparents‘ house" → "Ich bin im Haus meiner Großeltern"
Thank you.
