Let's start :
Schools EDUCATE people
(Till they are first literate and numerate, then trained, learned, and knowledgeable .............. for details see:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU6YeH1nlvs )
So: An educated person has a good Academic record-and it shows!
They aren't uneducated.
Parents BRING UP their children aka kids.(Esp. In the USA, we also say to RAISE kids and to REAR kids)
Parents(noun) are always parenting!(intransitive verb)! = bringing up kids= giving kids an upbringing =raisng kids =rearing kids.
(Cf"to father" a child =engendrar, to mother a child = miar , probably overprtectively when they are grownup)
SO Their children can be Well-brought-up people....
(wellraised, wellreared,wellbred) They Behave well.
OR Badly-broughtup!
A child like this is a BRAT! If they are wellbroughtup aka wellreared aka wellraised ake well-bred
They have Good Manners.
They mind their manners.They are polite.
For example
It isnt't good manners, it's Bad Manners to pick your nose, yawn or scratch your head:
You will be considered ill-bred! -or badly broughtup! -or rude ! - or impolite!
BBC :Beijingers told to mind their manners
"Beijing citizens have been told not to ? when talking to foreigners during the Olympics.
They have also been given a list of things not to ask overseas visitors...+ Subjects to avoid.../."
If you must yawn, etc cover your mouth!
