That's one of the reasons I'm not for sending my daughter to a private school or doing homeschooling. I know that children need social interaction in order to be socially functional, however there are things that happen in public schools that I really don't agree with. Veering from the topic of homosexuality, I'll bring up the subject of manners and courtesies. Let me ask these questions of the guys on this list... a little informal survey: - When you are leaving someplace and there are people behind you, regardless of gender, do you hold the door for them? Yes....always I hold the door until everyone who is behind me is out....to an extent. - If you see someone holding a door that you are going through and there are more people behind you, do you offer to "catch it" for them? Yes. - (For those with families) Do you eat a meal at a dinner table? Is it propper to wear a hat or cap (non-religous) during the meal? I have always took my hat off....my father would never let me wear a hat at a meal. - When addressing someone, are the words "sir" and "ma'am" used? Yup. I'll stop there... there are tons of examples of respects, courtesites and manners that are considered "old school" that I personally don't think should disappear.
