[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is going to go. I see too many guys raised with no manners. I can only do so much at home so I am happy to have him with other families who also care about manners.[/quote]

My kids have great manners because we instilled them within our house.  We didn't need any cotillion to teach our son how to behave. [/quote]

NP. I agree that teaching manners begins at home and is the responsibility of the parents. Good for you for raising such a well mannered son, and your son for taking to heart the lessons you taught him. But wouldn't some reinforcement in a group setting outside the home, as well as practice in actual formal situations, only be beneficial on top of good home training? I'm obviously not saying it's essential, but I can certainly see why it would be helpful.

If my DDs express any interest I would likely be thrilled to have them in Capital Cotillion. We would have to consider Mrs. Simpson's much more carefully first to make sure that the program's current policies and attitudes match up with our family values before we would enroll the girls, but since I doubt we will receive an invitation that's really beside the point.[/quote]
