I'm shocked I tell you! The whole world will come to an end if people start wearing white after Labor Day! ;-)

parents who care about things such as manners are already teaching them to their children in the home, by example... and those who don't care, well--they won't care what this teacher did...
I thing the author has rather thin skin. If she were as proud of her homestead as she claims, she’d be willing to show it off to the students despite what she perceives as rude behavior on the part of the Ag teacher. But I’m just a little “old-school.”

True. In all honesty, I feel bad for jumping all over the teachers. I was one for a while and I tend to be WAY too critical of those in my former profession I fear.
