Good Manners

* Re “Discovering That Manners Class Doesn’t Measure Up,” Jan. 2.

What is he trying to say; that manners are obsolete?

This exemplifies the downgrading of the civilities of our society.

I thought newspapers were supposed to lead the way in proper behavior in all fields, not downgrade behavior.

Good manners in all areas are a mark of education and self control--valuable assets.

Terrible article, in my opinion.
