Re: The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword

I did not imply that ALL children are badly behaved. My own grandson is well mannered and polite and certainly does not disrupt in class but as Cashman rightly says the manners and respect should be learnt at home. It should not be up to teachers to teach those things. It is however a sad fact that these days there are more bad mannered and unruly children than there used to be. A lot of parents these days do not take the trouble to teach good manners or to respect other people or their property. Fewer children say 'Please' and 'Thank you' , to me an essential lesson from a very young age.
