LETTER: Are parents falling down on the job?

Get hip Joan,
It appears parents no longer feel the need to teach their children: to walk on the right side of all walk ways, do not block doors, males do not wear hats inside any building, adults are to be respected whether you know them are not, cleavage is for the bedroom , one never tells a hostess if they do not care for the food she servers, a guest waits until asked, does not beg for food, drink; chew with your mouth closed, don't talk with food in your mouth, make sure you tell your parents where you are at all times, rubber shoes of any sort are for the beach not church, your rights end where another's begin, leave a place cleaner then when you arrived. The list goes on and on. Mother's got a bad wrap for nagging once upon a time, IMHO our society has lost something in the "evolving" we claim we have done.

Better call Mr. Johnson quick,B@ssDoctor.
He just spent the day having meetings with students and parents explaining the "rules". They were pretty much the list I posted. Maybe the school thinks there are some social conventions that are timeless. It is too bad the school has to teach them. The students should come already knowing them!!
