[quote=Anonymous]As a mom and a teacher I think etiquette is lovely/somewhat dying... I also try to be fair-minded (I.E. not give in to rumor mongering).  However, there is a definite whiff/taint around Mrs. Simpson's to anyone who keeps an ear open in DC--even if the taint is just that it seems to derive so much of its cachet by the fact that it is 'hard to get in' (I cringe at the possible reasons why).  My students who attend don't particularly seem to care for it.  It seems to be much more about their parents' personality make-up than their own.  I have nothing against dancing, manners etc. per se.  Even in school we should explore with the children how to be mannerly and caring.  It would be wonderful if there were more etiquette experiences in DC area that teach children the best of generations past (think boy/girlscouts of America, or the etiquette video someone suggested), without bringing back the hurt...and that don't seem so centered on social exclusion.  If that is what makes you 'classy', it is pretty shaky ground.[/quote]
