So: An educated person has a good Academic record-and it shows!
They aren't uneducated.


(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!

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!
