I think surveys can go either way, depending on who is conducting them and what the conductor wants the survey to say.
You don't think that rich spoiled kids would not know some of this stuff? I think it's pretty unfair to characterize poor kids as uneducated. I'm sure you did not mean to use such a wide brush on that sector of society.
