Do other parents find that male students are usually more polite than females these days? With many young females, they seem to think that equality of the sexes means that they should be allowed to act rudely/disrespectfully to others at school and not suffer any consequences.
I haven't noticed that distinction. I find that some young people are rude and many are not. And again, I find TJ generally refreshing in that regard. But while I look for manners, the manners I look for somewhat different from those ILD looks for.
Standing when a woman enters a room is one of those things that, while charming, has not been passed down to younger generations.
I think that practice in the workplace went out about the time men stopped wearing hats. In my previous 20+ years in corporate management, I've not seen such behavior in any meetings I've attended.
Thank you for clarifying the interview situation, IndiaLimaDelta. That helped me understand your perspective. And thank you for not mistaking my question as a snarky jab. I was sincere (though there are times I am sarcastic ).
Brooklynborndad, my comment about female students does not apply to your daughter's high school. That is meant sincerely, too.
It appears obvious by most of the last few dozen posts that the subject of would-be life paths as a TJ graduate has been exhausted.
