An establishment, funded by money coerced from honest working stiffs, in which children are taught politically correct lies, faggoty agendas, and socialist bull crap.
Hillary Clinton knows what is best for me. I know this is true because I learned it in public school.

Now, I can only speak for public schools in Florida, but I think *most* other states' educational systems loosely follow this pattern.

Public schools are schools which are controlled and funded (or underfunded, depending on how you think about it) by the government. They are usually piss poor and lots of kids can't even read by the fifth grade. Many public schools are a travesty of education and a stain on our fine country. In addition to making kids stupid, they breed politically correct nonsense like a disease. They are filled with violence and many children are transformed into skanky hoes who can't remember having virginity. Any parent worth their beans will send their child to a private school. I know MY children will never set foot into a public school!
Ewww...a public school? Well, I'll have to wear my bullet proof vest!

Public school kid: Holy cow! You are wearing a shirt from Lacoste and seem to be reading a book!
Private school kid: Why, yes I am.
Public school kid: This indicates both money AND intelligence! You go to a private school don't you!

More friendly people
No religion

Cons:
Bomb threats
Gangs
Nerds

If you go to a private school, do you really think you are better? Does having a bmw or an alienware make you better than someone who goes to a public school and has 10x the life you do? People actually dress not all the same and listen to many knids of music. There is usually a real tech lab with an AUTO SHOP(a place you work on cars and get dirty for the yuppies out there), a WOOD SHOP (where you can build shit), and WOODS to smoke in.

Poor/middle class people really ARE friendlier.

A Public School is a government-funded free source of education. Public schools vary greatly in their success, there are some that offer a great standard in everything from education to the student wellbeing, and some that don't. However, just because one public school is unsatisfactory does not mean that they are all that way.

Many people like to generalize and say that public school kids are filthy and public schools are horrible environments and that Private schools are for spoilt rich kids/smart and conceited kids. This is untrue. Both types of schools have their up-sides and down-sides.
Mom: Son, do you like your government funded free source of education?
Son: Yeah mom, public school is actually pretty cool!
