Thread: Какая разница между "приводить" и "привозить"?

Совершенно верно!
Я привел детей из школы = Пришли вместе пешком.
Я привез детей из школы = Доехали на машине или общественном транспорте.

No, a school is considered to be an enclosed place, so you have to use the из preposition if you mean moving someone or something from an enclosed space (like a chest, room etc.)

In fact, привезти детей со школы would sound as if the children were on the roof of the school and then they just plunged off the roof and into your car (or whatever)

However, you would use привезти/привести c/cо something if the something is not considered to be an enclosed space. E.G

Я привёз детей с пляжа that would be correct, because пляж isn't considered an enclosed space.
If you say привезти детей из пляжа that would sound as if the children were deep under the beach's ground

but doesn't привезти детей из школы sound like you're driving your car out of the school building?

Nope, as I see you don't completely understand the word's meaning, it doesn't focus on the fact that you're driving your car out of the school building, that focuses on the fact that you take someone or something out of the school building.

Let's take a closer look at the word. Привезти (maybe you already know, but I'll remind you that the imperfective form of this verb is привозить) is a derivative of the word воз. Let's see what a воз is. It's a kind of a cart. So привезти means to transport something to a particular place using a cart. Now it is obvious that you have to put things on the cart first to start to transport them somewhere. So first thing's first. I hope you can see now what this word really means and why it focuses on the fact of taking things first and not driving from somewhere
