Contrary to popular opinion, a public school in the UK is NOT a government funded state school, but rather an elite, fee-paying independent school - more commonly known as simply a "private school". Originally they were called "public" as they were open to anyone no matter their location, profession or denomination, they have evolved into schools generally reserved for the middle-and-upper classes, although due to most of them being registered charities (for tax benefits), they are required to admit a small number of less well-off students on bursaries and scholarships. Fees as of early 2025, including the newly introduced VAT, generally range from £8K to £14K per term for day students.
Although public schools are independent schools, not all independent schools are public schools. Public schools are usually larger, more historic, more expensive and all-round more prestigious.
Famous examples of public schools include:
Eton College
Dulwich College
Millfield School
Bedales School
Rugby School
Uppingham School
Oakham School
Fettes College

Get the Public Schoolmug. by Bloop bloeap June 8, 2021
Get the Public fodermug. When your buddy gets pissed at you for posting a douchebag comment on their very public Facebook post, that was more suited for the private group threads.
Dude! I can't believe you posted that shit on my public page! My public page! Everyone can see that!

Get the My public page!mug. Millburn has a very prestigious school system. Many come to Millburn/Short Hills for these very reasons. However, be advised! Their middle and high schools are very intense and fast paced. My family member claims it's "a fight" to get inquiries answered by teachers and staff.

Get the Millburn Public School Districtmug. So... When Russell "the (alleged) little girl rapist" Brand... Chants the rosary in front of 11 million people... Jordan "Almost not a Dr" Peterson has nothing to say about it...
Hym "But when 'The Woke!' are
✌️✊️✌️Praying in public✌️✊️✌️ in a vague and abstract sense... It's evidence of their falsehood or the falsehood of their immortality.... But when Russell LITERALLY PRAYS IN PUBLIC... Reciting a chant for a religion in which he doesn't believe... Nothing. Radio silence. So, his excuses are pretend. Doesn't give a shit about
✌️✊️✌️Praying in public✌️✊️✌️ Embarrassing. Fraudulent."

Get the Praying in publicmug. when you tell to everybody you're on a diet, but when you come home you eat everything you want and as much as you want
-She is well-done! She doesn't eat junk food, candies and meat
-No, she's just on a public diet. My friends says she eats everything she wants when she's at home and nobody can see her

Get the public dietmug. No you assholes are just as bad as that rich fucking retard you hate. I've seen you shit-heads trample eachother to death over black friday sales. You're boycotting carbonated poison over a guy wearing a dress. You can barely figure out which version of cancer stick you want to die from. I drive drunk (after drinking a 24 pack of Bud Platinum) better than 75% of you assholes drive sober. I literally have better drunk coordination than the greatest MMA fighter of all time. And don't even get me started on the witch burning. Oh! And the imposed schizophrenia! The people following me around. Making sex noises and pretending to be me. It's hard to even make the case that you should have a say in your own lives. Even the WORST THINGS I'VE EVER DONE are STILL entirely theoretical at this point and even the NON-THEORETICAL THINGS have been as subtle and harmless as a warm breeze.
Hym "How about instead of the public having any kind of say in anything I do or think, we start some kind of buyout system where I can opt out of society and get the fuck away from you all as quickly and throughly as possible? You hate all of the things that I am anyway. To trust the public with any decision making power I would have to actually pretend that you wouldn't suffocate me under your heel for a 50% off Ps5. You don't even want me here. So, yeah, buyout system. You all just go fuck yourselves. I just do whatever. Everything's kosher."
