An establishment created by the government for the common good. While some subjects offered at public schools are frivolous, the majority of classes teach skills that can be applied in higher learning environments or real-life settings. Often regarded by ungrateful youths as a punishment or cruel confinement.
It is neither of these, but rather a luxury that not all countries afford their citizens. Public schools give children the opportunity of free learning. Those who can be bothered to pass their classes can earn a diploma so that they may go on to college where they can get a degree that will prevent the necessity of a career in waste disposal, fast food, or retail.

Hooray, I'm so glad that school is free! Now I can make something of my life instead of suckling the government's teat by living off of welfare because I didn't feel like going to class! I'm going to be a rocket scientist, while those who didn't apply themselves will spend the rest of their lives in abject poverty, bouncing from drug addiction to unplanned children to prostitution!

A children's prison where you learn useless stuff like addition and subtraction, how an electric circuit works, the human body, and a bunch of other crap I don't understand and therefore don't need. It takes away about 25 hours a day from your life and you're stuck going to school every day for like what, 60 years?
We should abolish the education system. Forget being smart. Let's all be dumbasses and wander around and let society collapse in on itself.

Seriously though, go to school. Aside from learning what you are taught in class, you will also develop social skills and other skills that will help you succeed as an adult.
It's funny how people learn a lot of material in school, and then decide to bite the hand that feeds them by using their knowledge of spelling grammar, and their acquired thinking skills to write a definition on how it's a "legalized concentration camp" that teaches information that "you'll never need." If you're one of the people who wrote such definitions, go ahead and drop out of school. Go ahead and let your mind rot. We'll see who has the last laugh.

One of many unexpected places to get butt raped. Other places include church and Uncle Steve's house
Student 1: Dude, I'm so glad we don't have school tomorrow
Student 2: For real, my butt couldn't take much more

A place that most people whine and complain about to no end. It's where we socialize and get prepared for the real world. It's where we make friends so we don't have to spend our life alone. Although not everything we learn there is important, a lot of it is. Plus, learning unnecessary things is still developing your thinking and understanding skills. School is what prevents our brains from turning to mush, and also where we can get away from our annoying parents and be with friends for about 7 hours a day.
Ryan: I hate school. We spend most of our childhood to teenage life sitting in a desk being forced to abide by teachers' rules and wasting our time learning pointless things.
Amanda: Suck it up. School is where we learn to think and make friends. Don't be so negative.

A facility that teaches young people great skills for life.
You idiots bitching and moaning, "OMG OMG I H8 SKOOL, IT'S HELL!1 MATH IS POINTLESS AND I'D RATHER BE SURFING INSTEAD OF DOING SCIENCE HOMEWORK!!1"
You have a great privilege, open your damn eyes, having free education. People in developing countries would love to have such opportunities, and many of you dumbasses are taking it for granted.
"Torture?" Hah. You morons are insulting those whom have suffered true torture.
Your hatred for school obviously stems from your frustation at being utterly stupid, and unable to comprehend what they teach, not because it sucks.
How will you know if the things you learn you'll "never need in real-life," anyway? Are you 100% sure of the job you wish to undertake for the rest of your life?

when you're playing pool, if you play someone who's way better than you are and they whoop your ass, you have been schooled.
