My daughter was going to meet the head master at her new private school, Chadwick. I told her to try not to be nervous when you meet him. She said, "Mom I took Polite Is Right, I know the right way to shake his hand and talk with him, I will be fine." Jennie Robertson, daughter Carlyn For the last 3 years my child took Polite Is Right. He loves it! Mrs. James, son Hunter
My boys, ages 10 and 14, went to Polite Is Right's summer workshop. They did not want to go. But, after the classes, they set the table at home and even pulled my chair out in a restaurant. I was so proud of them. Mrs. Gorney, sons Alex and Matthew

	Dear Mrs. Honaker, Thank you for teaching my students about proper behavior and manners. You discussed interesting topics and the children looked forward to your visits. Hopefully the students will use these new skills off our campus ,too. Sincerely, Ms. Friedrich 4th grade One of the keys to a successful etiquette class is establishing a good rapport with the students. In addition to using techniques that are instructional and engaging, we use humor to make the kids feel at ease. Learning is maximized in a comfortable, safe environment .
