A misspelling of "public school" whose existence and usage is a discouraging sign of the dismal state of mainstream publicly-funded education in North America.
Unlike England and Wales, where "public school" infers some sort of posh, stuffy fee-paying academy in the tradition of Hogwart's, the rest of the world uses "public school" to be a local, mainstream, taxpayer-funded class setting of widely-variable quality of instruction.
Nonetheless, it's disheartening to see standards slip to the point where the schools publish statements like (from the code of conduct of Lakeside Public School, Durham Region, Ontario) "Lakeside Pubic School committed to maintaining a positive school environment. All students are expected to uphold the values and expectations of our school’s code of conduct." or (from the Thames Valley District School Board) "Orchard Park Pubic School Updates - Kindergarten Registration for 2025-2026 - To be eligible for registration, kindergarten students must be 4 years old by December 31, 2025 (born in 2021)..."
IF this is what our schools are teaching? We're doomed. Doomed.
