There is a connection between this and the previous clip. The first is the result of the collapse of the boundaries between the public and the private so that there is no longer behaviour which is deemed wrong in public. The second is an attempt to reconstruct that boundary.

  a strict behaviour policy which is transforming its exam results. 
</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/education/2308954/School-bans-youth-slang-and-sees-exam-results-soar.html"><P>Pupils are not allowed to use the phrase "innit" or other examples 
  of "playground patois" when talking to teachers. Formal language 
  must be used at all times in communications with adults and pupils have been 
  told that street slang should be "left at the school gates". 
</p> <P>
The measure, along with a strict uniform policy, is part of a tough stance on 
  discipline at Manchester Academy, in the city's deprived Moss Side area, has 
  restored order. Since the school became an academy in 2003, exam results 
  have improved from about 10 per cent of pupils achieving five good GCSEs to 
  33 per cent and the proportion who leave without a job or college course to 
  go to is down from 26 to 6 per cent.

"Language is really important and we have to make sure pupils realise 
  that," said Kathy August, the head teacher.
