Schools to teach good manners By DAVID WOODING Whitehall Editor April 30, 2007 COMMENT ON THIS STORY PUPILS will be taught good manners at secondary school in a bid to cut yob behaviour. They will spend an hour a week learning the golden rules of being polite and considerate. These include how to behave at the dinner table, when to say “please� and “thank you� and how to show respect to others. Ministers believe “social and emotional intelligence� classes will help stop children from turning into teenage louts. All secondary schools will be urged to put them into timetables for 11 to 14-year-olds from September. New guidance will encourage teachers to show kids how to tackle anger and frustration without losing their cool. The action comes after trials led to dramatically improved behaviour and pupil achievement. Primary schools which took part in the scheme found bullying and truancy fell and classrooms were calmer. from today's sun newspaper online http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007190804,00.html so the yob culture is alive ad well in Australia and India too? open to all countries just want to ascertain 1. we have yobs every where 2. what peope are doing abt it elsewhere

I think this would be good to get into the schools but it would be good to get the parents to teach this at home too!!! It should start at home from when the kids are very young!!!
