I am proud to say that yesterday I took my mother to the dr.  As we were leaving with her on her walker, a young man (teen ager) who was in the waiting room jumped up and held the door to let us out.  I am glad to report that there is still some raising going on.

I was raised. I quite often say sorry to a person that as barged past me, making them realize that the have no manners.  Or you are welcome when I have allowed them to pass and they have not said thank you.  Funny but it seems to be the older generation the have forgotten their manners more.

I was raised, my two kids were raised, and my two grandsons will also be raised I can assure you. I also agree entirely with Marg. It Costs nothing to be pleasant and polite.

Rob...you just hit a phrase that I heard from my father from the time I could understand what he was saying and still use it myself constantly...
It would make a good sign for every schoolroom in the world!

"It doesn't cost you a penny to be nice to everyone!"

know what you mean.
in practice lessons our teacher had a chalkboard brush, he would trow it at you when having bad habits.... (yes i had them too ;) )
you could bring it back and put it on his hand, arm was stretched.
in the other hand he had a 1" thick electric cable.....
you had to be fast putting the brush back, LOL

maybe this was to much, (on the other hand we weren't easy for him)
but now days teachers cant do nothing but say "please"
