Just in a way I feel that you are bugged by only me, lol.

Home school, international school and also " self-study " the one that you said parents " 家教育教坏了 "
I literally self-studied for my TOEFL and I took 106/120,
you can ask around what kind of score is it.
I am not cocky about it,
but you judgment over " 相信这种程度是不足以参加TOEFL等考试的 " is clearly wrong over it.
If I have to choose over you saying my language " 程度是不足以参加TOEFL等考试的 ",
and the fact that I've always had good score for my language,
I'd choose to trust fact than your opinion.
Your point of view over kids in home school/international school are " 家教育教坏了 " is not what I see.
When I was in home school, I see kids more discipline.
They've goals for everyday's work,
grade 1 - 12 whoever it is, your passing score is 80.
After you've done your work, you need to score them with answer key yourselves,
which give you temptation of changing your answer,
but tutors chose to trust you.
The part you ask me to go google, and I did.
还是我帮你搜寻吧:
"he has a British slang" : No results found for "he has a british slang".
"he has a British accent" : About 196,000 results (0.27 seconds)
Do you see the difference?
By your opinion, accent might not be pronunciation,
you can use many different words to explain it,
or altogether a long essay to easy the meaning of it,
but when it comes to definition, it is short and clear, one line.
Maybe he came back from UK? Maybe her mom is an American?
There are possibilities to explain his/her way of speaking,
and that is why I chose not to judge
I didn't mean to offend you.
And if you are curious about my writing,
here's a link to it :

不过谢谢你,我又从中了解和学习到很多东西。
记得,你没冒犯我,我也没冒犯你。《可爱的笑脸》
