Schools to teach good manners

COMMENT ON THIS STORY
PUPILS will be taught good manners at secondary school in a bid to cut yob behaviour.
They will spend an hour a week learning the golden rules of being polite and considerate.
These include how to behave at the dinner table, when to say “please” and “thank you” and how to show respect to others.
Ministers believe “social and emotional intelligence” classes will help stop children from turning into teenage louts. All secondary schools will be urged to put them into timetables for 11 to 14-year-olds from September. New guidance will encourage teachers to show kids how to tackle anger and frustration without losing their cool.
The action comes after trials led to dramatically improved behaviour and pupil achievement.
Primary schools which took part in the scheme found bullying and truancy fell and classrooms were calmer.
from today's sun newspaper online

I think this would be good to get into the schools but it would be good to get the parents to teach this at home too!!! It should start at home from when the kids are very young!!!

I stay in Canada and characteristic worked with little ones for over 2 many years and characteristic seen a marked enhance in unruly habit in little ones over that factor. This 365 days has seen a marked enhance contained in here: pushing, kicking, mouthing off, swearing,and total push aside for people. . the employees on the college have had alot of talk bearing directly to the excuses why and that they are. as long a itemizing with the aid of fact the behaviors that have been seen this college 365 days. the rather some reason that the employees got here up with are: Musical impacts, digital Media(unsupervised used of movies,video games,the internet), Socio-Economics, little ones having little ones, mothers and dads no longer having the abilities to be valuable mothers and dads,and rigidity to call some. the colleges here in London, Ontario Canada have not got any instructions in manners, yet faculties do have codes of habit that scholars could desire to persist with. i think of that coaching instructions in manners could desire to help re-enforce the manners that youngsters could desire to be being taught at domicile. .
