Should males be taught good manners in school, or should that come from parenting only?

This is a parental issue related to their responsibilities in raising you right; the school can't have the same impact due to the instinctual nature of learning from your parents' manners and behaviour growing up both before school age and at home during school years.

Another thing; What PRECISELY will you teach? I was taught to practically avoid all women and hold guilt for all the crimes of adult men in the world by the feminist headmistress at my junior high... this caused me to avoid all interaction or support of women until I left Uni and started unlearning this trauma.

My parents taught me how to be respectful to women and peers, my school taught me to be anxious and averse to interacting with women. So the real solution is parental guidance on how to raise their children right at home, as my parents did; rather than blaming children for the crimes of grownups and teaching them to hate themselves for what they are - which is what always happens with these schemes.

That's up to how parents want to raise their kids. I have all daughters, but honestly if I had a son I'd teach him to treat his family and old people well, but be apathetic towards strangers and dates. It's a far more successful strategy if you're a guy. Though if you're a younger woman you definitely won't enjoy being told to pay for yourself, having the door slam in front of you, so on and so forth.

It certainly gets attention and is more unique than being the good or nice guy though. No one will yell at you for assuming they need help either.

[Thestupidusername]

Why just males?

I'd say manners should be thought to all kids. :)

[Nikki1989]

Of course.

[Samrasheihk]

Of course nikki1989

[Summeroflove]

Exactly

[IslaTheWitch]

People can learn good manners at any age, if they want to.

[Andres77]

It seems like some people don’t have parents and have never been to school either

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Nowadays EVERYONE should be taught good manners & it shouldn’t just be limited to males. The other day I was being a gentleman & I opened a door for a female & she didn’t even say thank you so what good are manners if no one appreciates it.

[Summeroflove]

I don’t think it’s a male exclusive thing. I think it’s both genders need to learn respect and manners. It’s something a lot of people simply don’t have anymore.

Im not rude to someone unless they’re rude to me first. I do my best to be polite to everyone even if I’m having a bad day, it’s not their fault.

It’s a parental problem many times when a male or female child has no respect. Either they have parents on one extreme of spoiling them and defending them no matter what, to the other extreme of not giving a shit at all. It’s a sad reality. But there comes a point in life someone knows right from wrong and make their own choices. Whether they have amazing parents or horrible ones.

I think kids should learn respect in schools too. Not…. Certain stuff

[NathanDavis]

both, and more...

some of the best lessons I saw some people learn, was on the street and also the sports fields, lol...

don't say shit to people just like that, if you're not going to like the consequences of running your mouth around, lol... maybe not the best way, but many do only learn this way, lmao...

No. All children or none of them.

I find the ever increasing list of criticism of men and boys thanks to the modern "feminist" movement ludicrous.

If women want men to be polite and courteous then there's a way to get that: quit letting girls grow up into entitled little bitches who think any guy who asks what she brings to the table is misogynistic but is blind to the fact that offering nothing but her presence is misandry.

If you want strong men with good manners, be feminine women with a touch of graciousness about you.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Everyone should be, it's called human decency.

Women should also be taught to accept men's standards instead of instantly calling them creeps, insecure and controlling.

We should also teacher people not to generalise, like saying stupid shit like:

'Most men under 30 are undatable'

[TheUniqueOne96]

Or saying the majority of men are sexist.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Are Most Men Sexist? ↗

[smne35]

It's not the schools responsibility to raise you but to give you the basics in education manners right wrong being human is your parents job, it should be mandatory to have a parenting class right after high school, to educate people of their responsibilities at beginning parents, kids are new here to this world and need to be taught how to survive here, exist here, care for this world for those coming behind us to enjoy as we have enjoyed this world

[Billlewis]

I think this is an excellent idea, particularly because most teachers in the primary grades tend to be women, which I believe provides an even better opportunity to teach, train and instill good manners.

[Bricealan]

@Nikki1989 Well, if dinner goes okay, MAYBE she will let him push her 'stool' in, huh?

[Anonymous]

Haha, I love that meme. Although in my experience anal sex is better before dinner than after.

You your question, I think the answer is both. Unfortunately it doesn't happen enough today in either setting. Far too many boys (and girls0 are raised without a father, and those boys are far less likely to be taught good manners and how to treat women. In schools, teachers' hands are essentially tied when it comes to disciplining bad behavior and enforcing rules. It's all very messed up.

[BustyMilf81]

It should be taught at home from early age as well as discipline

[Samrasheihk]

That's right

[love_conquers_lust]

Parents. It should be reinforced by their own behavior in school. It’s not a teachers job to teach kids proper behavior, manners, and listening skills.

My sister is a teacher and we discuss this every other time we talk.

[flautistnaturist]

schooling is best done by parents and those to whom they are communally committed with to common purpose for life. (in terms of what should be)

[superchan2011]

Teaching manners to kids is the parents job. The schools job is to teach academics, but manners or basic human decency is up to the parents to teach.

[bededazzle]

they sold be taught more about how to be men. many boys have no father figures in their lives, and they may not have enough male teachers

[Andres77]

This is a funny pic.

taught by parents, reinforced in school.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Good parents can only do so much to bring a Son up to be totally respectful to woman, I think this has to be learned behavior from the males.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

I used to say both, you learned from both, but now with the woke bullshit the parent are the only ones left to teach their kids and half of them do not have a clue what to teach their kids since they don't know themselves.

[Friendlybro79]

Shouldn't everyone be taught good manners? Last time I checked there were bad manners coming from men and women.

[syncheart]

Society has gotten weird. I remember a guy in High School, said that He took a woman out on date, and He just opened the door for her. She turned around and slapped him!

[LunarEclipse433]

Great joke. Guys should always have manners unless you just like A-Holes

[Hanrej]

If manners were a skill that paid, sure. Since it isn't it's really up to each individual weather or not they even want to treat the other sex better than they treat others... Or for that matter than they expect to be treated in turn.

[Sparkie460]

They should learn it from parents and school. I was always taught to have good manners when I was growing up

[AngryCarl2]

I think it's best left to parents. If you wish to raise an ill-mannered child then surely that is your privilege. I'm generally not a fan of the "nanny state".

[Aiden_111]

I think a boy or man should learn these things by there own and i really think that if he don't wanna learn this thinks no one can make them learn so yeah they should learn this thinks by there own or by parents or in school

[PaulEGon]

they should be taught good manners the same way you were taught. It should be a combination of both for everyone. Not just one sex.

[Alex8736]

If it were the time I was in high school I would say both but nowadays from what I hear and read high school now which I haven't witnessed personally I'd say just parents TBH

[CaptainSmartass]

Everyone should be taught good manners, full stop. Your suggestion is, quite frankly, incredibly sexist.

Simples...

[Anonymous]

Once again--schools seem incapable of teaching kids to READ, WRITE and do BASIC math and logic. If they can't do those 3 things they have ZERO business attempting to do anything else.

[Bobbysworld]

In terms of "males" I would say no. But People every gender should be taught manners by parents or guardians yes

[JohnK123]

I don’t think boys or men should open doors for women, etc. like since women want to be independent etc just let them do it themselves

[Nice222]

I believe in good Parenting. But I also realize that is probably not the norm where I live these days.

[dolemite58]

why only males? a lot of females act like shit

[CubaPirate]

Well I'm British and my manners are impeccable

[Anonymous]

Parents should teach that. As they should teach women how to be feminine and lady like.. both sides have lost there way

[RealMarek]

Both boys and girls should be.

[elizamichale1]

From parenting i guess

[RedInnocent68]

Absolutely! Everyone could benefit, actually.

[Mansearching]

Little bit of both.

[LiamJHayden]

A bit of both, but primarily at home.

[Iron_Man]

They can have etiquette classes to

[Minahh]

Mostly parents but educators to an extent too

[Smashingdoozy]

Both

[Miristheiss]

Both

[browndog]
