Is public school an entitlement program?

Public school education is often considered a social entitlement because it is funded by taxes and available to all children, regardless of their family income or socioeconomic status. In many countries, including the United States, access to public education is a right, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to receive an education. However, while it is an entitlement in terms of access, the quality of education can vary significantly based on local funding and resources.
