Learning Manners, 1900’s Style
By Liam M.
Recently, a FedEx delivery woman came to The Family Foundation School to drop off some packages. What would normally be a routine job turned unusual when she wound up standing at the glass door with her packages, after students let the door close in her face.
She was shocked. Her experience had always been of FFS students running to hold the door for her and greet her pleasantly.
As a friendly and not too judgmental way of highlighting our need for consideration and respect of others, The Family Times will bring back “The Goops” from 1900 and let them demonstrate a better way to live together.
Some of the points that we will be covering with the help of The Goops are:
Helpfulness
- Holding doors and helping carry things.
- Doing other’s jobs alongside them.
Deference/Respect/Awareness
- Surrendering seats and other acts of courtesy
- Table manners
- Interrupting and being too demanding
- Giving people the attention they deserve
