Educators - Other Subjects - Manners

We are all noticing the lack of civility in daily life. Teaching good manners and proper behavior must begin at a very early age.  For this group, it is a pleasure to recommend two books: Goops And How To Be Them and More Goops And How To Be Them.

These delightful books are 100 years old. They teach through charming poems covering every facet of good behavior.   If  one verse is read aloud every morning, good results are assured.

 Prayers may not be permitted in school, but reading one of these poems each morning is definitely o.k. and very productive towards creating proper decorum.  If some of the children take issue, it is a perfect vehicle to start a discussion. You see, good manners never go out of style.
