I heard from a lot of people that most schools in the U.S. are free. In other words, people can get in and study without paying. Does this apply to private schools or only public schools or both?

(If this is true, then it sounds a bit weird to me, because I have only seen free public schools, but I've never seen a free private school).

That only applies to public schools. Private schools you have to pay for.

Well, no school in the US is technically free, part of the taxes that we pay go toward Public Schooling, which any child can attend. If you want to to go a private school, or College, you gotta pay.

This applies only to public schools. Private and Parochial schools require a yearly tuition, which can be very expensive.

Public schools are suppose to be free but there is always a list of school supplies you have to provide. Things like notebooks, pencils, art supplies, P.E. uniforms, etc. I would hardly call public schools free.

only the public schools, but it's not really "free" because you have to pay for a bunch of crap
