A large part of our school culture is derived from the British and missionary schools at that. I don't know how old you are and what social strata you belong to. But most urban middle class kids of my generation (I'm 23) would identify most with english medium private schools which are a strange amalgamation of missionary schools of old and the more modern and liberal teaching methodologies.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the boarding schools have a culture of their own that we've only seen in films. :)<BR/><BR/>This is why I can never relate to school culture in America.
