We should teach
etiquette in schools.
(300-350 WORDS)
School is a child’s second home. Although character education is a hot topic in schools across the nation,
education in manners often receives scant attention; with growing demands on teaching time, etiquette is
rarely a priority. Teachers who teach manners said they notice a real difference in students' attitudes, in the
way they treat one another, and in their schoolwork. Although some might say that manners are to be taught
from the parents, the places children learn to socialize are not only at home, but also at school; it is their
second home. A child either learns different moral values from his home or from his school. These days
with both of the parents working, a child rarely gets the opportunity to learn moral and social values from
home. However, this is no longer prevalent as more and more families become nuclear and get unconcerned
of teaching manners to young people.
Of course not all the parents are failing to teach manners, but it is surprising to see many
adults who do not know the correct ways of being respectful. Then how are they to educate
their children? Thus, the only way we can ensure our future generation to learn etiquette is
by schools.
Firstly, etiquette makes an agreeable and a peaceful classroom. These days, there is a
misconception that etiquette is about formal behaviour. The foundation of etiquette is
kindness to others, treating others as you would like to be treated. Our children's future and
success will be enhanced by the use of appropriate behaviour. Creating an environment in
our schools, where manners are taught and valued enables every child to feel safe and
become all they were created to be.
A quote by William Arthur Ward makes people wonder whether they have been polite and
good-mannered during the day: "God gave you a gift of 86, 400 seconds today. Have you
used one to say thank you?"
Schools should be the place where they go to be educated and socialise. There are a variety
of subjects that you can learn about in schools such as English and Mathematics, but were
you ever taught on how socialising can change your life? Children should be taught how to
socialise and how to meet people from across the world and not insult them at first glance.
Manners are a crucial part in anyone’s life, no matter who you are or where you come
from. Etiquette should be mandatory in every school. It shouldn’t just be the parents’ job to
teach them to say “please” and “thank you”.
If etiquette was taught in schools people would be more polite in general. Some people
might think that etiquette takes away personality or individuality from the child, but it is
not. It is to encourage young people to accept different cultures and personalities in modern
society. Teaching etiquette in schools will equip students with tools that will help them
interact in the professional world. These skills not only help children in work but also in
everyday life to resolve issues such as misunderstandings or arguments.
In conclusion, students should have the opportunity to be taught etiquette by
their schools so they can benefit from the advantages brought by proper
decorum. They can impress their superiors and thrive in their careers. This
protocol is used from early in life throughout one’s adulthood, so it should be
taken seriously. One may be judged solely based on his or her etiquette.
Teaching etiquette at school would make it easier on family and formal life,
and would benefit the society as a whole.
