This is definitely down to a class thing imo, I grew up in a not so "good" area and if you were good at school you were a swat or a nerd etc where as I live in a pretty "good" area now and the attitude is miles a part, the kids are almost competing with eachother to see who can do best and you'd be more likely to be made fun of for being thick. Completely different attitudes and values. I can definitely see how it happens that kids in poorer areas under achieve compared to kids in more affluent areas
