Manners and teaching them


The one thing I have found out here is that manners are lacking. My students do not have a habit of saying please or thank you. Good morning, goodbye or even hello is hard to get from them. I try to lead by example but it is not an easy task as they don't notice or don't care.
This morning I was pretty mad when I asked a student how she was and she replied "fine, why?"
I try to teach them it is classy to have manners. I am fighting a losing battle that is for sure.
Another thing that makes me mad is the throwing of rubbish everywhere. How can you stand straight to sing the National Anthem then litter everywhere.Loving your country means caring for her and making her a better place to live for the future. Sabah is a beautiful place and it needs all the help it can get to stay that way.
