What is this world coming to?
Today I went to see The Nutcracker with my school. I wasn't suppose to go but I was asked to go because I was wearing dressier pants than the jeans the one EA was wearing today.

My issue with the kids today are this. They lack the etiquette for conducting themselves in proper manner. During intermission I had to tell the kids serveral times to put their feet down. They were in a proper theatre--not a movie one--and they had their feet on the back of the seats in front of them.

During the performance I had to shhhh quite a few of the kids. I was dinged in the head with an object that came from the balcony above us.

I wonder where these kids learn their social skills for situations like this. I can tell you that if I was ever spoken to by a teacher during this kind of event I would have been so embarrased and I would have been concerned about getting a phone call home and the talking too I would have gotten!! I would have been grounded for sure!

I wonder if parents do anything with their children at all. I can't understand why they don't. There are plenty of things one can do in order to teach their child the proper skills one needs for a social setting like that.

If Bailey was ever to act in that matter she would get a severe talking to about what my expectations are! I'm pretty positive that she would not act in that matter! I take her to plenty of places.
