Cutlery Children

Cutlery Children
Are table manners important these days?

Have noticed that a lot of smaller children don't seem to know how to use cutlery, let alone properly.
Talking with a mouth full of food etc. too.
Or does it not matter to most people these days?
It's very important to me. Can't stand ignorance and rudeness. I realise children learn from their parents. 'nuff said!
Stan you are so BAD. Stop it. I neraly spat my wine out. How ironic would that have been..?
Lovely answers. Thank you. There is hope.
That should read NEARLY spat my wine out. More tea vicar?

I am a teacher to 3 year olds and my class basically had no table manners until I started with them. They now know how to sit, how to serve themselves, how to ask for something, how not to put elbows on the table, no talking with food in thier mouth etc. I have drilled it into them and I am strict with it. (sorry if it sounds harsh but have you ever had to eat daily with 18 3 year olds?) I have heard from several parents how they just never thought to instill manners at their age ( yes they are 3 years not 3 months) and I have received much thanks for doing this.
