Definitions and meanings of "Public School"

What do we mean by public school?

Certain private schools, particularly (initially) any grammar school operated apart from the personal lands of its students or (from the 19th century) the feepaying secondary schools which developed from or were modelled upon them; a British boarding school

A college or university

(formerly Scottish) A publicly funded and administered school; such schools in the context of other countries

U.S. public schools are shitty prisons where kids learn to hate math, english, history, science, and physical ed. that's why we have a problem with having too many uneducated, illiterate, and obese people in america. everyone who doesn't have an extra $30,000 to spend sending their kids to private schools are forced to make them go to public school. teachers can't be fired after working at the school for 2 years, so you get lots of shitty old teachers that don't care about their students because they know they can't lose their job. the school's main focus is preparing students for the standardized tests, which have such low expectations it's unbelievable. Urban Dictionary

A place where kids learn to become assholes in the future. A place where teachers are tired and don’t give a shit about the students so they try to hide it by giving you a bad grade, calling you out, or making you do stupid activities and projects and presenting them. A place where standardized tests is the only thing that will make you go to the next grade level. A place where kids and teenagers are too afraid to stand up for themselves and what’s right because of pure pressure, anxiety, or being judged harshly by others. A place where being anti social and not participating makes you a “target". A place where bullying and doing drugs isn’t so bad but school shootings, fights, and kids murdering other kids is “BAD"; and they wonder why those things happen in the first place. Hears the deal, if your parents can’t afford to take you too a good private school or they just don’t give a fuck, don’t go too an actual school at all. There are plenty of opportunities to do homeschooling or attending an online schooling system, and trust me, dropping out isn’t the best option for some people. Don’t even think about going to college either, because it’s the same fucking way, except you actually have a choice. Urban Dictionary

The process of replacing an empty mind with a closed one. Urban Dictionary

How the government tortures kids ages 5-18. The government forces each student to get up at 6:00 in the morning to get ready to go to school at 7:45 in the morning and are there until 3:30. The government tries to tell us that we "learn" things we'll need in the future, yet we actually need much of it. Most kids like me actually enjoy learning a ton. Let's take speed of sound for example. I enjoy learning about the sound barrier and what happens when it's broke, but I just hate the fact I'm forced to memorize the speed of sound and other crappy stuff. What's worse is that you get tested on it, and if you fail, that's too bad, it defeats the purpose. If kids were to be left on their devices to learn themselves, I bet you they won't ever want to come back home after school. Also if freaking Physical Education was taken out too. It's the reason why bullying rates are so high as little 6th graders who aren't strong but extremely intelligent are being bullied by jock head 8th grade football players who already lost their virginity to some cheerleaders. It would also decrease the suicide rates in teens. Urban Dictionary

A place where miserable under paid teacherse dwell. A place where depressed,angry,violent,gangbanging youth reside during the hours of 9am to 3pm. They teach you alot of stuff that doesnt really help you with alot of stuff. and refuse to air condition classrooms during hot garbage smelling summers, while they're staff rooms and offices are spotless clean and nice and cool. Urban Dictionary

Breeding ground for people whose families don't love them enough to teach them anything. Urban Dictionary

A place full of useless lies... As I learned much more out of school then from a school teacher... And a waste of 13 years of life... (IF your lucky only 13) I recall the sex pistols singing a song that was really accute about school... Urban Dictionary

In Britain this is a private school. In other words you pay to attend. Many are boarding schools. The pupils are well off ,well spoken and very British. Common sports played are rugby, hockey(field) and lacrosse. Urban Dictionary

The places that a lot kids age 5-18 go to 5 days a week for 6-8 hours. They are basically prisons, trying to cram useless information in your brain. They lock you in classrooms, and don't let you go to the bathroom until class is over. And even in those 4 minutes in between classes, you still can't use the bathroom cause everyone else is. Some public schools (like mine) have a very severe drug problem, and have even had police come because of it. They say that what they're teaching you is just preparing you for the next grade, so when are we gonna do actual learning, and not preparing? Everyone bullies you, even the teachers. One of my teachers called 3 boys some "waste of air" and literally no one disagreed with her. She was old and senile, and nobody liked her. Except for one of my friends that I was fake to. She was a good two shoes who nobody liked. I was forced to be her friend. So yeah. Don't send your kids to public school. Private school would be nice. Or even homeschool. Urban Dictionary
