Re:Should children be taught manners at school? - 01/05/08 09:50
Whatever is taught in school between the ages of 5 and 18, apart from Mathematics, English Language and Literature, History, Geography, Art, Sports, Technical Drawing, French, German, Spanish and any other academic subject should be a continuation of what parents teach their children at home. That is the fundamentals of reading, counting, manners and attitude to other human beings. Little wonder then, when in many areas the parents have no understanding or appreciation of good manners and are unable to express themselves clearly without resorting to the vernacular, that children often grow up not respecting other children let alone other people and their property. It is during the formative years, generally accepted as being between age 3 and age 6 or 7, that children learn from their parents how to behave, how to respond and how to react.
