[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think people need to take more responsibility for their children's behavior before they are in 4th grade and then send them off to "a school" for it.  Its lazy and detrimental to society at large.[/quote]
You GO girl! How did people miss this part? I thought the original point was crystal clear and had nothing to do with author's socio-economic status. This whole issue is WHY people do things like cotillion when they haven't covered the basics of human descency.  My kids ride the public bus and we don't belong to clubs, but they STILL know to address a bus driver with the same respect as their parents, a teacher, a doctor or anyone else on the planet for that matter. Class is how you act, not what you own.  Regardless of how many forks appear on your table, if you're not a generous and polite host it doesn't matter if you serve lobster or a Big Mac.  PP is right.  Cotillions can't make your children better people. As for dance lessons, they teach ballroom at the YMCA.[/quote]
