Schools that usually provide better education for it's students than most public schools. Admission requires money or scholarships or both; some schools require entrance examinations. Their curriculum is not mandated by the state.
rich white people like it because it's it's full of other rich white people and no minorities to scare them.

Get the Private Schoolmug. 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!

Get the Public Schoolmug. Someone who is most of the time mentally ill. This could be cause by abused or a victim of bullying in early childhood. The person may also suffer depression and other mental disorder. What drives them to actually shoot at the school is still a shock to many. Some say, maybe they wanna be remembered, some say, they do it because their fed up with the world, but whatever it is, it's still a mistery to actually know what is going on inside the mind of a school shooter. I personally feel that depressed kids or adolescent need to be taken serious and treated early before they get out of control. And also, people of today are not very nice to each other, so i think that bullying also contributes to school shooter, as they feel very depressed. Overall I think it's a very horrible thing to do, I mean if you're not feelling well, get help or if you really want to die, just kill yourself and not others who have done nothing to you.
Fred: Do you know that kid who always sits by himself and never talk to no one in the class and ge's always sad.
Michael: Yeah i know right, last time i tried to talk to him and he just ignored me.
Fred: I think we better watch out for him, because i suspect that he might be a possible school shooter.
Michael: Yeah, I think so too.

Get the school shootermug. A lovely community where geniuses such as myself get to show off to the world how incredibly intelligent we are. For example, I am two grades ahead of other students in mathematics, learning about useful topics such as quadratic trinomials. Do not believe all the other definitions that you can read here, those are all accounts of students who are jealous of other student's brilliance. School is the perfect place to meet friends and grow in your passion for whatever you find is your gift or talent.
me: I am so thankful for the gift of knowledge that school gives me
my friend: I know, it is an excellent use of time and resources, preparing the next generation for their lives.

Get the schoolmug. A place where toddlers, mid-age kids, and teens go to when learning. School is a very important place to be and if one does not wish to attend to it, then consequences will occur in the future. School is also the only place with all the education you need when you grow up.

Get the Schoolmug. 
An institution that is usually meant to be mono-sex (or boys only/ girls only) and is rarely Coed. Most are established on the Main Line (Pennsylvania, New York up to New England) or on the west coast (California only). Private Schools or Prep Schools are establishments started in the 1910s and have a "college" setting. Sometimes students board there and sometimes the school is run like a public school. The attendants come from families with a bit (quite a bit) more money then other families, except in the case of the occasional well-spoken scholarship boy. Instead of being forced to believe in unified ideas and socialist ideas (brought up by friends of mine who go to public school) they are 'encouraged' or 'forced' to come up with their own ideas about how the world should work. In this way the school will produce leaders, CEO's, and Wall Street stock analysts that will make between $450,000-$2,500,000 per year or highly paid surgeons and consultants that make $250-$700 an hour.
The kids attend Ivy League schools and in this way the private or prep school can claim success that they can advertise to the wealthy folk, who probably attended private/prep schools themselves. The children who attend these institutions are not always stuck up (in fact at my school VERY few are).
Pros:
-Small classes (between 10-25 kids divided into 2 homerooms)
-"New" educational ideas that promote self-acting
-Prestige when applying for colleges and jobs
-AP courses that allow up to 2 years worth of college
courses to be accumulated in senior year
-Less violence
Cons:
-Not usually Coed
-Separation from the unwashed masses that the kids will have
to deal with when they have big powerful administrative
jobs

Dean: "So I'd like to start this application for our college
with an interview, so please tell me about yourself."
The Private School / Prep School Student's Response:
"Well I attended a Prep School from 6th-12th grade, scoring a 3.50+ GPA each year, and a 2360 on the SAT."
Dean: "Alright then, lets get these forms filled out..."
