"Yeah, only America has those," Steve said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"It isn't all bad," Tommy said, softening a tad. "I mean, once you understand.
They're called 'public' schools because the first schools were all religious, or trades. They were schools anyone could go to -- well, anyone with enough money, at least," Tommy chuckled.

"Anyway, yes, we have cliques there, but it's...well, it's different," he said, diplomatically.
