But less than 20% of those in School are British (In london) so not much
point in speaking English few understand and even less will be listening.
I sit at the bus stop with kids and parents going past every weekday I
rarely hear English being spoken.

What language kids speak with their parents bears no relationship to the
language used in schools.

Yes it does. If the parents aren;t speaking English then why would the kids, when most about them aren't speaking English either. You speak the language of those around you. That is also how people develop accents.
If yuo're bright enough you would have noticed gangsta rapp jargon in schools being the in thing as with trousers half way down their legs. This is NOT typical english culture OR polish, it's american and it comes from LA prisons and the BLACK gettos. You'll also notice the words spoken aren't cockney or typical London. This is what happens when kids get together they no longer follow their parents ways and customs after around age 10-12 they develop theior own identity and that comes from teh peolpe they associate with..


And I'm willing to bet you'll not find any mainstream school in London
where only 20% of the kids are British.

Depends on what you mean by British doesn't it some think all children born in the UK are British by birth but they aren't.
There's two couples each side of where I live out of the 6 or so kids only 2
were with them when they arrived they aren;t british and neither are the offspring as yet.



You'd have to go to a specialised school - for say for the likes of
children of diplomats or whatever to find that.

rubbish.
