I can't imagine that many non-Muggleborn students ever attend Muggle schools, 
they would certainly know a lot more about Muggle society if they had.  Could 
anyone reach age 11 without having a lesson in proper use of the telephone?  
Also kids are terrible braggarts.  The risk would be unacceptably high that 
someone would spill the beans.  

I suspect there is a lot of home schooling.  Perhaps wealthier families, like 
the Malfoys, employ nanny-equivalents.  Witchy Poppins?  Hmmm, well, maybe 
not.  Oh!  Maybe there is something like Sesame Street that comes by way of 
the fireplace?  Like when Sirius visited Harry, only it's Professor 
Knobblewart with the lesson of the day?
