I would like to see manners taught more in schools, do you feel the same?

It would be useful to have some examples. For example, is respecting others' ways of expressing their gender identity a matter of manners? It may be but some will say it is a legal duty. Others may find it a form of political correctness extended too far.

Respecting a waiting line or queue. Is that in the area of manners? Is it a legal duty?

Consider waiting your turn to speak. Is that required by manners? On television it seems to be simply a bad strategy. Your position is just run over or ignored. You have to interrupt these days. You have to be willing to talk when others are talking. Otherwise just don't agree to be on tv and interviewed!

Manners and respect are the foundation of good moral character.. .. ..

No manners should be taught at home, thats the parents job

I think they should be taught at home first

Might wanna start in the home before the children even set foot in the schools.

The problem is a lack of respect, without the respect they won't care about manners!

Manners need to be taught in the home assuming parents have any manners to begin with

As a former teacher for kids who got kicked out of school for unruly behavior
public school is not equip to stop learning to correct behaviors that can be correct at home.
If parents don't have time to teach their children how to behave in the classroom or in society, they should have kids at all.

They should be taught at home and at school, but if the parents are lax with this at least they will receive this training in school. Of course you can teach good manners.

Mane could be showed in school but if not showed at home.. the kids will never follow nor learn sadly

Teachers are not paid enough to be teaching manners...much less they are not respected

I agree with Barefootdonna - it should be taught at home by parents.

I think that's for family to teach. Schools don't have that much time.

It seems manners are lost on much of the younger generation.

bring back the cane.. lets start with respect for rules and authority

I'm sure there were a few female teachers in high school that could have taught me some more manners. Too bad corporal punishment had already been banned. If one of the pretty female teachers had been allowed to spank me in front of the class so all the girls in my class would have laughed at me and teased me, then I would have definitely been respectful all the time.

But , I'm too busy trying to teach my kid how to burp the alphabet 😱

I believe manners should be taught at home

Let's start by mastering them on SW first

When I started school. in 1962 , we had manners class up to and through 4th grade. So we WERE taught them. And we grew up in a time when authority was respected. Fine to question, in a respectful way. And I think my generation is all the better for being taught this.

The teaching of good manners should begin at home and THEN the children will take them where ever they go; even at school.
The training should start EARLY not wait until they are unmanageable 6 year-olds (many are lost to disrespect by then). Parents need to begin the training process practically from birth. That means, as Barney Fife said it, NIP it in the BUD!"
Prisons and Pens are filled to the rafters with those whose parents failed miserably in their attempts to begin worrying for their child's upbringing too late. This aids in a child's self destruction before age 15.

@EightDown they don't need extra time for this, it is integral to their interactions with teachers and other pupils and reminded and insisted upon from the start.

Ms Daw is right in every remark here. While manners should be taught at home, schools should insist on them and include them in rules and lessons.

@BeMyValentine If only all parents at least attempted to instill good behavior in their children we would all be a lot better off

Yes blue , I agree. I also agree with you JanDaw. They should be integral in school but they should learn at home.

@BemyValentine really? It is so terribly hard that it requires extra remuneration ?

awe, my mistake...then yes, they should be reinforced at school

Best way of teaching is to lead by example.

Actually, I'd like to see them taught more at home.

Ever heard the saying "you can't teach manners"

they should be taught at home first.....

No. I got a lot of trashing in school

It's a sad comment that we can't teach manners because it's considered discrimination or suppressing expression... rather than the basis for hospitality, which itself is the basis for civilization!

Yes

Iaotzu92: When I was in grade school we got graded on our report cards on such things as "respects the rights and property of others"...so basically we were graded on that.

Maybe but I think you need an adult class also. And throw in a class on consideration. It needs some attention also.

not only in school but at home. Even now i have to be on my best behavior when i see my mother

@booboo the operative word there being "should"

manner should be taught at home too

sure

Yes!
