Well yes, they possess a certain something in their air and manner of walking, the tone of their voices, their address and expressions.

What does that mean? In line at the DMV? Attended the University of Iowa? Both your DH and BIL are unskilled day laborers?

Out of curiosity, why do you ask?

You can usually tell based on whether they are wearing a Rolex.

No. I live in Bethesda, where the public and private school kids all do the same things, buy the same things, drive similar cars, have overlapping social circles and generally end up at the same universities and jobs... because they have the same sort of parents.
Yeah, similar experience here as a student, my circle overlapped. I actually attended both. My sibling and cousins attended boarding school for high school.

The quickest I can tell is with a school uniform.

Not at our school. Manners are not taught.
Yes at most if the others.

It's really easy. You just say "where do you go to school?" and then you can tell by their answer.

I think most private parents can. But what exactly teases it out of random kids?
