There are things that assume American style systems that just don't exist over here. In the first chapter it talks about "Elementary Schools", where in the British system it would be Prep schools, probably (they tend to be classed the "best"). And Tenure doesn't exist in the same way.
It didn't jar with me too much. I just ignored the fact it was supposed to be British, to be honest.

Prep schools - as a Scot I have no idea what they are and they sound awfully posh. Are they the same thing as primary schools?
