I've been to public schools in two different countries. The schools I went to in America were, except for the one I went to for the last few months of first grade, fairly painless. My grades were terrible and some of the teachers were real jerks, but it was painless. In the first school I went to in Holland, it was pretty terrible, and I got picked on a lot for being foreign. My current school is a lot better though, and the system is more centered around the student's need than the American schooling system (in my experience).
