The child is used to being asked questions to which the questioner obviously knows the answer. This kind of question is used in language tests as well. As a consequence, middle-class children can manage them much better. In addition, an interviewer speaking with a middle-class accent is more likely to remind the middle-class child of a relative or acquaintance, whereas working-class children associate this accent with welfare workers and government officials \u2013 and keep a low profile, responding largely with monosyllabic words. The testing conditions are not the same for all children. (Holmes, Janet: <em>An Introduction to Sociolinguistics<\/em>.
