[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of polite and well spoken kids in the US. You just don't know any. [/quote]

I do.

But the point is that we should see this across the board in middle class America yet we do not…particularly in the dc metro area.

Fwiw, British kids wear uniforms to school; it doesn’t mean they are affluent. [/quote]
If that school is Fulham boys school, which i think it is because Jolly or Korean English Gentleman youtube channel has done a lot of filming in that school ( see the episodes of them bringing korean food to the  school - my fave episodes on their channel) then it has a mix of ses.  But imo the difference is that private schools (free public in uk) can admit who they want so if you don't fit their mold they can deny you. Same for privates here.

DH is from the UK, and believe me, there are not so classy kids there, too.  A large part is your ses much like here.

I also think you are influenced by the accent.  I don't blame you as that is one of the first things that I noticed about my DH,  and I told him that if he lost his accent I'd leave  him lol.  But it does make them sound more posh. Even the curse words sound more posh with that type of accent.[/quote]
