Middle-class families are willing to send their children to cram schools and interest classes, hoping that their children will make a breakthrough in their grades and personal advantages. Parents of those elite families not only attach importance to their children's normal education, but also attach importance to the study of etiquette courses.
Recently, AFP reported that elite families in Shanghai will send their children to learn etiquette classes. A child walks with a book on his head and a smile on his face, especially like a princess studying the rules in court. Actually, it's true. These children are children of wealthy families in Shanghai, and they were sent here by their parents to learn manners. These parents are willing to spend a lot of money to teach their children manners, hoping that their children can be internationalized.
According to the interview, the parents of these children generally believe that children must know the rules and learn manners. For example, don't yell at each other in public places, have basic etiquette when eating, and how to use knives and forks at the table, not too vulgar. These are all things that parents should teach their children.
In a city like Shanghai, many families are willing to send their children here to study such courses, and they can afford it. Because in the eyes of most parents in Shanghai, they have higher requirements for their children's own quality, and such parents are willing to pay for their children.
This etiquette class lasts for four hours, mainly including dining etiquette, etiquette training and social skills. The price is 2688 yuan. Although the price is not cheap, it can't resist the wishes of parents. Parents want their children to become international China people and send them to study abroad or travel abroad in the future. It can be seen that parents attach importance to their children's personal qualities.
After the interview, the 10-year-old girl smiled in fluent English and expressed her feelings about learning etiquette. The girl said that the process of learning etiquette was a little tiring, but it was very interesting. It can be seen from the little girl's expression that 2688 has no white flowers.
Netizen 1: Poverty has limited my imagination. More than 600 yuan an hour. I have to work for three or four days with so much money. It's really hard to imagine Are these children going to the royal family in the future? Is it necessary to be so exquisite? Isn't it enough to teach children basic manners?
Netizen 2: The gap between the rich and the poor is too big. Our children sign up for a dance class, 2000 yuan a semester, which is expensive for our whole family. That's good. Is it 4 hours and 2688 hours to learn this? God, it's good to be born well. Our child was reborn in the wrong place and suddenly felt a little sorry for the child.
Elite families have enough money to pay attention to children's manners. As ordinary families, they don't have enough money to pay for such courses for their children, but they should also tell them these truths.
1, be polite
Children should be polite from an early age, and the use of civilized language is the most basic. Some parents pay too much attention to their children's cultural achievements and ignore their own quality. Their speech is rude and uncivilized, which does not conform to the characteristics of children. Parents need to reflect on this. You need to use "hello, thank you, goodbye" more in your life. This civilized language has made efforts to build a civilized society.
2. Dining etiquette
You shouldn't talk loudly when eating. You can't eat before others arrive. This is the most basic etiquette for eating. Families with higher requirements for their children can also teach their children western food etiquette to let them know more about the cultural knowledge of other countries.
3. Etiquette when dealing with people
Don't interrupt others when they are talking. You must wait patiently before others finish, no matter how clever your own opinion is, don't grab words. Don't tell me what to do when you are talking. No gestures will not cause any adverse effects, but gestures are a sign of disrespect to others.
4. Walking posture
According to the older generation, standing posture, sitting posture, walking and sitting behavior can best reflect a person's quality. Therefore, parents should also restrain their children's bad posture in daily life, not demanding perfection, but not damaging their personal image.
Modern society demands more and more people, not only in terms of cultural level, but also in terms of all-round comprehensive talents. Children in the future will be more tired, but they will definitely be better.
