Get a dictionary.

No one "woke" is doing this. LOL only Maga morons.

Have those of you who are criticizing cotillion have any actual experience with it? I was doing some research into junior cotillion today because I know there used to be a 3rd/4th grade option and I think my kid could really use the manners help!

Can you suggest one? There aren't really any classes like this out there other than this.

Two sons did cotillion and they both enjoyed it very much. They learned how to talk to speak with peers and adults, treat a date respectfully and dance a bit. I loved parents' night when each led me to the dance floor and we danced. Also loved that they had to get me punch! It was voluntary participation on both sons part.

See upthread. It won’t help.

Of course they have no experience.

Plenty of Ds in my area do it. It’s relatively popular in NOVA and everyone knows we have a lot of Ds here. But I do know most of the naysayers actually have no experience with it, like this comment.

Oh look, it’s the poster obsessed with wokeness.

Of all the threads.

Your obsession is so tiresome.

No, I'm making fun of the wokeness.

They act so progressive then send kids to a plantation dance. So bizarre.

Not true. I know many "liberal" Arlington families sending their kids to this. I could not believe it.

Do you model good manners for your child? If so, no need for them to go to cotillion or “manners classes”. If you don’t have good manners yourself, it’s unlikely your child will develop them, classes or not.

Mrs. B in Falls Church does manners class. Boys and girls love her- she makes everything so fun.

Why do you need a manners class to teach your kids some manners?

Southern? Someone has obviously not heard of Knickerbocker dance lessons!

Maybe you perfect people don’t. I never held myself out to be perfect. My 7th grader eats pretty sloppily despite the fact that I’m not modeling sloppy eating myself.

So tell him to eat more elegantly. A manners class will not solve this.
