[quote=Anonymous]Independent School teacher here. Curious now, does the feeling for the class change with age? (reference above post). My elementary students hate it. They are distraught at the process. they grumble, moan and a few are truly bitter. I understand that parents sometimes want children to do activities 'anyway'--but is Mrs. Simpson's worth it? What values does it teach? Isn't it rather exclusive? Maybe the children should lead here...sometimes they have a wisdom adults have lost, no? I am smitten by the idea of white gloves and etiquette and old world manners; are there any other more egalitarian ways to learn this in the DC area?[/quote]
