Re:Should children be taught manners at school? - 01/05/08 09:42
Manners should be taught in the home. It is a time -consuming task teaching toddlers to say please and thankyou but once ingrained it is with them for life. Teachers have enough on their plates without having to add parental responsibilities as well. This is not to say that good manners should not be encouraged or rewarded in school. Teachers can have a large influence on children and should always aim to set the standard of behaviour themselves – or how can we expect it of others. Much of the joy of teaching is in the extra-curricular interactions that take place in a school and it is here that teachers can have the greatest impact on a child's social behaviour, not through formal classroom instruction.
