Talking about manners seems sort of redundant and well, obvious. But it’s not as obvious as one would think. I work in an elementary school and I am surprised, almost daily, at the lack of manners.

Many kids do not reciprocate when they are greeted with "good morning!" or "hello." If they even look at you, they don’t miss a beat and continue on their way. I, myself, stop them and remind them that when someone greets you, the polite thing to do is respond back.
