[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother (who was very traditional) taught us proper manners - she would regularly do high tea at the Ritz with her grandkids.  The moms who send their kids to cotillion at our school actually have pretty atrocious table manners, which always made me laugh.  Modeling at home and out so much more important.[/quote]

The Ritz serves afternoon tea, not high tea (which is what I'd call "supper"). If you're about to post an image showing that the Ritz calls it "high tea," save yourself the trouble.

A mother I know was going to send her son to cotillion in hopes of improving his manners, and like you, I thought it was strange to wait until a kid was 12 to get on that, and I also wondered why they weren't doing it themselves. The cotillion in question wasn't what I think of as the real thing, though, just a paid series of classes open to anyone willing to write a check. More democratic, which seems not at all in the spirit of cotillion as I understand it. [/quote]
