Ah! were you at the wrong institution or the wrong country?

"Public Schools" in England are the elite private schools ( Eton, Harrow, Merchant Taylors, etc) Sounds like a mis-nomer, but they were designated "Public" - as in open to those who could afford the fees, as opposed to Church schools (free, but charity based and open to church members only)

So a Public School education in England was the best you could get.
