In an ideal world, a public school is a place that kids, living in the community, can learn reading, writing, math, science, civics education, music, debate, art, etc for free. The community funds the school via taxes. Without the support of the community, the public school will flounder. With the support of the community, the school will also be able to supply tutors, social workers, counselors, etc.
The public neighborhood school allows the kids to attend without having to travel great distances. If the school isn't walking distance, bus transportation is usually provided.
Many believe that the movement away from neighborhood schools is a bad idea. Many believe the best option is to create more choices within each neighborhood school. Supply ample funding so the school can offer drama, debate, art, vocational classes, etc.
Florida Governor DeSantis said that any school receiving public funds is a public school. There has been a movement in the US to use public dollars to fund charter schools (which in some cases allow profits to go to real estate developers who own the building and land that house the charter school), and private schools.

I am grateful for the public schools I attended.
Public schools offer opportunities for children of all economic status.

...I don't know! I put this up here in hopes of someone filling me in. When Obama says "public option," does he mean private health insurance, like the kind I have now? Or is it another arm of the proposed nationalized health insurance?
'Fewer than 5% on public option?' That sounds ridiculous. Many people will keep their insurance they have now. If the public option is what I wrote above, then that number can't be right!"

A Yuppie's favorite method of transportation. When a Yuppie rides the bus he or she gets a warm fuzzy feeling because they think they are saving the planet by reducing their carbon foot print. What a normal person sees when they get on Public Transit is a inconvenient, filthy, crowded, noisy, disgusting, mobile metal death trap.
Yuppie: Lets take Public Transit today and save the polar bears.
Normal Person (1): I'm not taking the looser cruiser!
Normal Person (2): I'm not taking Public Transit if it crashes that thing will fold like a tin can and kill us all.
Normal Person (3):Why would I take Public Transit when I can drive my car?
Normal Person (4): I'm not taking Public Transit it smells like piss, shit and vomit on a good day.
Normal Person (5): I'm not taking Public Transit! If you take the time it takes you to drive somewhere then multiply it by 10 you get the time it will take you on the bus. NO THANKS!
Normal Person (6): Let the Yuppie's take Public Transit I grew up and bought a car.
Margaret Thatcher - A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.

The social welfare system of the State. Often used in the pejorative context to refer to lazy, uneducated citizens who desire to "milk" the freebies of government until they're forced to work, or expel another child into the world.
