"The hardest job kids face today is learning good manners without seeing any".

I bet you have to scroll down to know who said that? It would seem that it is an age old problem that is still in denial..........

Sadly true Matt, luckily we have much smarter young people around here who are polite, well mannered and frequently as crazy as "old farts".
That said I'm a good manners fascist with my kids. My in-laws find it funny sometimes how many times I say please and thank you, as I mirror translate to Hungarian and they use these words about 2000% less than your average Brit Grin

I have been raised since i was a child to say thank you(now thanks) You are welcome e.t.c and in real life I always do especially when offered something you smile and say no thanks cause as the Robot Orvis said "Humans Smile to avert threat"
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Tongue

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

- Socrates

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

I get the feeling as we get older we obsess more and more with moral decline of the coming generations.
Then I look back at photos of me in my uniformed days and remember a lot of the things I did that would have my grandparents doing about 12000 rpm in their graves (actually grandad Arthur would be sitting there laughing like a drain, he had that manic sense of humour). I didn't turn out too badly all things considered.
I think a lot of older people forget that to be old and wise you first have to be young and stupid Grin

How else do we learn?

in ireland well,thats a different story.
kids still wear uniforms to school(but most wear their training uniform since the school jumpers are like potatobags infested with lice,they are so itchy here.)
but some of the parents...
the neighbour alway comands to everybody else like:mark let the dogs out! and:micheal cut down those braches.
and she is just STUPID.
we where on a holiday,one day after they where in charge,the rabbit escaped because the left the cage open,they cut down the nice tree in the middle of summer,now it looks like massive cactus ruining the view,and they left the ones that where already ruining the view.when she has to leave the dogs out she just lets them loose and fakes them escaping.
and there is the most stupid message ever on a sign:

we got a stable maraige.
i work like a horse and he is a STUBORN OLD MULE.

its the opposite way around realy...

My mother always says that the problem is that some people believe the way they were raised is the correct way. They were raised and were treated badly they feel better when they take it out on the younger generation Sad

And that's not the way to do it. The only way you can change that is if you do it differently when you grow up and become a role model Wink

Even here in the most expensive and best private schools (the public are mostly 8-4-4 system never done it, Never will) They wear uniform but it's not That bad Undecided

we do help her and stuff but she is just,well,unfair.
she sent her son to an irish school only telling him about the irish and the sport.
but he HATES reading and there you have to read an irish book every day and make a small report about it,well lets just put it this way:he only reads books if it is at school,if it is about sport,and if you give him a book he wont have read it untill 5 months later.
and she was not raised badly at all,she is more a spoild person actualy,she does not aven work in the garden,she used to get an old man from nextdoors to do it. :/
