For those who are interested, I know from my older sisters that deportment included the proper way to set a table, greet guests, hold a conversation, visit the sick, eat at formal dinners, write thank you notes...and I’m sure that was just a bit of it. I’d happily give up the other social teachings at school if they just taught how to be polite.

...

Great insight and idea. Too bad teaching it would be called racist.

I just read a book by Scott Adams. He has a little chapter on how to strike up a conversation. He considers it one of the important skills to be successful in life.

Good point - good manners would be considered racist by the liberals in this country.
