appreciation 10/21/24 🫂 I appreciate: 1) how quickly the 8th grade parents can get together and muster all the requisite supplies and resources needed to pull off a respectable haunted house for this Friday’s school carnival. 2) the seasonal etiquette lessons we’ve enrolled our 8th grader into - this is something my wife and I were never exposed to and we’re so blessed to be able to give this opportunity to our children 3) that my manager can help to manage some of the prodigious amount of work we’re doing from now until the end of this fiscal year

The more the youth of our world learn to respect themselves and each other, the better off we’ll all be. Who knows? We may even be able to rightly call ourselves a civilized society once again.

2/2 They learned the fox trot; the boys learned how to respectfully approach a girl and to ask her to dance. The girls learned to respond in kind and both learned how to carry a conversation. They learned how to conduct themselves in social situations and much more.

1/2 It may seem strange to some, but perhaps not strange at all to others. Many of our most basic interactions with each other have been so reduced, trivialized, and discarded as to be completely forgotten. We don't say hi to each other anymore. Don't bother to introduce ourselves; it's safer or more comfortable to be anonymous. God forbid we actually smile at someone because what horrors could that invite? From manners to mambo, from refreshments to rumbas, from social skills to the swing, etiquette lessons re-introduce the practice of being polite, kind, and respectful. Last night, a large group of well-dressed 6th through 8th graders were taught the four S's to practice whenever you meet someone: 1) Stop 2) Smile 3) Shake (their hand) 4) Speak (your first name, pause, then your last name) Look them directly in the eyes when you do this.
