That's not what happens in schools, though. If we assume a broad social mix, the kids with the most cachet would be the harder (ie generally poorer) kids. In order not to get their heads kicked in, the posher kids would tone it down to sound and act more like the scum. Result? Everyone ends up sounding and acting like Shannon and Billy Bob Joe.
