[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question. If the reason you are sending your kids is to learn manners, why not just....teach them manners? Surely, you can figure out which fork to use and tell your child.[/quote]

Are you teaching your kids how to dance so they are equipped to attend events with movers and shakers in the professional world?

What about soft skills like making conversation with strangers?

If you didn’t attend cotillion, you don’t know what actually goes on there.

I attended cotillion for nearly a year in Georgetown in the late 80s. Guess what? It was fun! It was like going to a dance and then hitting up a local restaurant afterwards for the after-party. Good clean coed fun. Plus we met kids from other schools.

How often do your kids get dressed up and mingle with new people? [/quote]
What kind of dance are they learning? Seriously. Send them to a dance class if you want your kid to know how to waltz.

Movers and shakers?  Are you telling me that people like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Paige, Sergey Brin  care whether you can waltz?  This is very old fashioned thinking, kind of like a cotillion - outdated.

If your kid likes to get dressed up and pretend play, I can see how that would be fun. I would think most boys would find this torture.[/quote]
