[quote=Anonymous][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]

There's a community aspect to it. And it's not just manners, it's how to interact with other people their age. Hard to do that at home.[/quote]

My son was very nervous to interact with other girls..this gave him confidence. That was worth it alone. [/quote]
? "interact with kids their age" doesn't mean go to a cotillion.  Are you seriously saying that a cotillion will teach a teen boy how to talk to a teen girl in the 21st century? Do you think those cotillions teach them all the current lingo, what's popular, tiktock crap?

I can understand if your kid has social anxiety, and you want them to learn how to interact with people, but surely there are other ways to do that other than a cotillion?

Your kid is getting dressed up, waltzing, and eating at a fancy restaurant with good table manners. Do you think that will make him popular with the girls?  Do you think this is what teens are doing when they socialize and at school  :? [/quote]
