Why do we need manners in the classroom?

 Why do we need good manners in the classroom?  

Why do we need good manners in the classroom? I think that people aren't using their manners that much and I think people could use their manners more by-


  1. Saying Hi or Hello to people (also say hi or hello back to people).

  2. Saying Please and Thank you because it's respectful.

  3. Keeping your hands to yourself, people may get upset if you hurt them and sometimes if it's just play fighting that's still not ok because it may turn into a real fight.

  4. If you don't have anything nice to say don’t say it because you may hurt other people's feelings.

  5. Complimenting and encouraging people to do their best can boost their confidence and make people feel better.

  6.  Picking up your mess because then people don't expect to have to clean up after you.

  7. Smiling at people makes people feel like they are liked.

  8. Be honest, if you tell a lie you will lose people's trust and they might not trust you again.

  9. Don’t talk in class. It's disrespectful and rude, some people won’t hear what others are saying.

  10. Don’t get in other people’s personal space.

  11.  Be humble, don’t brag about everything because people will think that you are a ‘show off’ or ‘know it all’.


I think that when you use your manners people feel like you're a respectful and kind person that cares about other people and their feelings. Try to make sure that you treat people the way you want to be treated, if you want to be treated nicely be nice. I think that the world would be a better place if everyone used their manners. 

If you feel upset then keep thinking of all the good things in life. If you are mean to people then you may get in trouble. 

One compliment could make someone who is very sad happy. Everyone makes mistakes and if you make a mistake own up to it, if you said or did something mean say sorry to the person. Please try to use your manners. More people may like you if you're kind and use your manners.
