Not everyone can be +-(:-) but I refuse to say whether this was brought on by any recent events. However, I would like to discuss manners and etiquette. I was unable to find an audio alternative and the library expressed doubts when I proposed reading one of Debrett's handbooks to the children. Nonetheless let us begin with grooming!

John Morgan writes that dressing 'grubby' is not so much a fashion statement or an indication of one's class as it is of 'laziness, low self-esteem and lack of social awareness.'

Although this was specifically under grooming in the section regarding one's style of dress, I chose this because I believe grubbiness can extend to etiquette and general behaviour. It is high time for everyone – especially the Scotch but at least there are no frogs including myself – to look at his or her own behaviour and think about it though some longer than others. Grubby manners may stem from deeper problems.

I think you make a wonderfully valid point, Eleanor, but perhaps the school networks aren't the greatest of forums? Sometimes, people don't even realize they're lack of social awareness! Bringing public attention to the problem might only further someone's embarassment and anger, don't you think?

I'm sorry! I really wasn't implying you did anything to be purposefully hurtful or anything at all like that. I was simply suggesting that perhaps the reason they've not come forward is due to the fact that they're rather embarassed?

I do not need anyone to come forward or publicly admit wrongdoing! Simple introspective thinking and the future correction of one's behaviour are good enough!
