If your teachers a dick tho they'll be very prissy about it

Some might be lenient

I see

Most hate it

Some will use your work as an example of what not to do

that sounds like a self esteem destroyer

There was a kid in the primary school my mum works at. Spoke in an American accent, with no background or relatives speaking like that

Oof

I have noticed

Children, especially from upper class families, increasingly speak some words in American accents

There were a few girls in my secondary school that would say better or water like an American

Weirdos

Ur in year 11 ffs

It sounds rly odd because they're still trying to keep a British accent as well

Private school girls ?

Private schools

Me, being american

Yeah that soujnds bad, i guess?

I got a scholarship

I mean, it's just weird, why pretend ur from another country?

And adopt its mannerisms

I could have gone to a grammar school, I would have passed me 11+ easy, but I didn't want to

Might not be pretend and it's just familiarity

Like, I watch a ton of tv shows, I got an accent out of it

Still horrible, but it's there

Pick it up from shows etc

Idk then

Also why the

I wanted to keep my friends

I sound like a prick XDDD

Wait, I thought you were quoting me

I did the same thing with my 11+

Huh

No I was talking about myself
