Visit the typical pinoy school and the kids are very,very polite,check them out before school sweeping the yard and the classrooms,they always arrive early in case they get a tardy report One thing that shocked me was a pinay teacher cutting a kids fringe if she thought it was too long,do that in the UK and your going to be in the papers,on the news,and out of a job BUT I find kids schooled in the UK are better at adapting to new things,more self assured,and generally a good deal more independant,they figure things out and speak to adults on a one to one,swings and roundabouts
