    Any good authority figure in the business world will use please and thank you. Common sense tells you it is politeness when asked to do something and not a request you are going to say no to. Those who do not say it are usually the types of people who feel superior over someone and enjoy proving it with their lack of descency!

      do they make students use the word please? Honestly I think the word “please” is only legitimate for use if you are pleading. Not at all necessary to be used in a coherent question. Only after you are met with a “no”, would you need to try and plead with someone. People will say “ please is the magic word,”. Oh really?! You can get anyone to do anything if you say it? Do people ask their bosses to say please when the boss asks them to do something? It’s a word I see that wastes time when parents or elders use it to teach a child how to ask for something “ properly”. “ Can I go to the bathroom?”, should make plenty of sense to someone already. If they are asking you to say please after that easy to understand and not at all rude question, then they are acting high and mighty/authoritarian.....aka disrespectful of others. “Please” is for Pleading only.

      No! how rude to request with "Please." Pee on your socks... {Seriously, a classmate of mine in 2nd grade with bloody knees from a recess snowball fight was refused permission to go to the bathroom (despite "Please...") by our horrible abusive teacher, Madeline F Wilcox. --"You should have gone when it was time, Young Lady." I checked the obituaries for Miss Wilcox whenever i returned to my hometown. Missed it. The bloody-socks girl sat there bleeding into her socks and shoes. She shared story at a Reunion.

    Because your average child already has great manners!?! They need to hear please and thank you on a regular basis. Yes, they should comply with directions from a teacher, but they should never become programmed to automatically comply because someone in authority commands you to do something. Also, that sends the wrong message. That says you are not worthy of respect. A teacher would never tollerate that from a student. "Adults" should teach children the proper way of acceptable communication in our society, and it needs to start with them. This is. Preposterous in my opinion. Perfect setup for Marshal law. Let's get our children accostomed to obey without hesitation or question.

    • @carlcushmanhybels8159
      @carlcushmanhybels8159 4 года назад

      Understand. But kids will test and push the limits. =Not comply until the esp 1st year 'sweet' teacher keeps asking... Or parent who doesn't back up her requests. Kids will see how long they can ignore her requests in the hall. Kind but firm is the way to be. With a smile (if they are truly 'just being kids/ excitedly talking with friends,,,), manners, and expectation they will comply. Quiet enforcement of rules., 2nd level.

    I always say "Please," and "Thank You," and I am told it is appreciated so much because of the lack of people having the courtesy to treat another person with respect. Sometimes that is the only respect received. My kids do say "please," and "thank you."

  • @Dylvente
    @Dylvente 8 лет назад +29

    The way I think of it is this: Imagine that you're baking a cake, and you read the recipe and instructions. The instructions don't say, "Please preheat the oven to 350. Now please mix the butter in with the cake mix. Now please add an egg. Please stir..." Teacher's instructions are essentially similar. The teacher is not asking a favor; the teacher is giving directions. I am not opposed to the word "please" but I do question the idea that the word must be included in every direction a teacher gives.

    • @zammmerjammer
      @zammmerjammer 5 лет назад +1

      Real talk -- whether you're asking for a favour or giving a command, the other person ALWAYS has the CHOICE to comply or not. Just saying "please," which is simply polite, doesn't mean there won't be consequences for misbehaviour. What adults are SUPPOSED to be teaching children is how to make good choices, not mindlessly follow orders.
      Dumb.

    So, you can't be "specific and concrete" while using manners? Teachers already don't, nor are expected to coddle the children but we put our children into their care for 8 hours a day 5 days a week and while we teach our children manners at home we expect everyone at school to uphold the use of manners. If my kids were in a school where no-nonsense means no manners from the teacher toward my children, I would expect my children to demonstrate "no-nonsense, no manners" towards the teachers such as: "Ms. Teacher, I am getting up from my desk and leaving the classroom now to go to the bathroom", then stand up and leave the class and have that be acceptable.

    Convenient that Denise got the one teacher in all of CMS that agrees with no nonsense nurturing. My first year of teaching (at one of the schools Denise was the superintendent for), I was a guinea pig for this ridiculous program. It started within my first few weeks as I was finishing setting up my classroom (we were given no time to set up our rooms) and I was just getting to know my students and make those important connections with my second graders who came from some of the lowest income areas of Charlotte, NC. Many of these babies were homeless or lived at the homeless shelter, I found it absolutely necessary to make their classroom a safe environment for them to feel comfortable to enjoy their learning journey. This came to an abrupt haunt as the no nonsense nurturing team came in and forced me to stop these connections with my babies. They told me to stop telling them “good job” and to start narrating what they were doing. Ex. “Johnny completed his math problem correctly.” I instantly noticed a disconnect from my students and saw they would start acting out for attention. The no nonsense nurturing coaches had microphones hooked up to a head piece a had to wear and had to copy everything they said. After each session we would meet and they would critically tear me apart and tell me how to talk to my class. Not to mention they were giving me homework and told me I had to script out every single thing I would say to my students throughout a lesson. I cried after every session. My students knew something was wrong. They knew we had to just get through these sessions so the s coaches would leave us alone. The teachers in our school ended up banning together to ban this program bc it was not right for the children/population we serve. We of course didn’t see eye to eye with our administrators. This program, the coaches, the fact that they forced a new teacher into an experimental (at the time) program is part of the reason why I left teaching. And I loved those kids like they were my own I gave my heart and soul to that classroom. I assisted with the homeless population in our grade level, donated my time and all kinds of materials and personal items for those less fortunate. I would have loved to continue my journey at that school but I just couldn’t be apart of something I disagreed with so strongly.

    @davidmiller9018 6 лет назад +3

    Going through school I don't think I ever heard the teachers ask me to please do my work or please stop talking and get on task. I was always just told to do, because we knew thats what we where supposed to be doing. But it wasn't "not allowed to say please" if i asked the teacher to grab my bag because it was close to her and she was heading my way I simply asked if she would please grab it. She would. If the teacher needed help reaching a book or pulling something up on the board from the computer while she was up teaching she may notice I was already done with my work and was working on other classes work, she would ask me "come grab this book for me please?" Or "would you come change slides on the computer for me please David? It's a pretty simple life. Stop making it fucking stupid.

    @quinn2052 6 лет назад +1

    What I don’t think a lot of you are understanding (Coming from a student who has been a volunteer at a summer camp for kids) is that when you are teaching a large group of young children, it’s easy for things to get chaotic. Yes, it is nice to be polite, but sometimes you have to put your foot down or shit doesn’t get done. I, as a doormat myself, have tried about a million different tactics that include being polite, and let me tell you most of the time that doesn’t work. Stubborn kids are stubborn, and just because most kids are nice doesn’t mean that the other kids can fuck around and delay the rest of the class. If it works, and the kids are generally happy, who the hell cares? They’re children, and children need discipline.

    So this is the new thing now. We can't use the word 'please.' What's next? Can't say 'thank you' or 'you're welcome.' or any other pleasantries that we were taught as kids. These are prime social phrases (with their meanings attached) to make a child grow into adulthood with a stable mental appreciation of how to respect other people.

  • @googlesuxbigtime1227
    @googlesuxbigtime1227 7 лет назад +1

    This is a misleading headline.
    I don't see what the issue is here. This is how it was in public schools when I attended grade school in the 70's.
    May I, Please and thank you were used only when appropriate. Which was usually by students. But you did hear courtesy when appropriate.
    But no, *the teacher should **_not_** be saying please sit down, Excuse me or May I, to get the students attention.*
    I remember one teacher used to tap her pointer on the blackboard to get the class's attention One like to clear their throat. Another would just walk up to the blackboard and start talking.
    The point being, they didn't ask, or request you pay attention, you were expected to.
    For the best classroom environment, conducive to learning. There needs to be repetitive enforcement of strict classroom rules of conduct starting from day one. The students need to know that there will be no exceptions to the rules(but common sense must also exist and applied).
    The teacher should clearly lay out the classroom rules and what will be expected from the students.
    The most important is the start of each class. Students should know exactly what they need to do without reminders.
    Having strickt adherence to classroom rules and etiquette, does not mean that the teacher can't be relaxed and have a casual teaching approach. Or be a fun teacher. Because the nurturing part of teaching comes from the lesson plan and interaction with the students. Along with the one on one interactions between the teacher, students and parent/s/guardian/s. All go together for an optimal learning environment.

I went to a public predominately blsck school and my parents taught me how to conduct myself in public if they left it up to the school to teach me everything i would be just as wild as some of my classmates were. Try teaching a class with 20 plus students while babysitting some class clowns is not very conductive.

Only when the person being asked says that they need to hear the word “please” does any part of this exchange actually become rude. “ please” is for pleading only. Also, I have had to teach my children that “ please” is NOT a magical word that gets you what you want. I’m all about manners, kindness and morals but not the useless and, often times, time and energy wasting word “please”

      Brian Payne this is insane! All children with a reasonable IQ know when something is a request no matter what words are attached. I have four awesome children. They are people, be it less experienced, they should be treated as we want to be treated. All these people saying it's a great idea, are basically saying that their kids are ignorant! Are they unable to teach their children while showing them the respect they deserve? If please changes a child's response, then you haven't raised your child right. Likely these people saying it's a great idea are the very people not raising their children but asking the school system ie. Government to do their job for them.

    • @djbreal87
      @djbreal87 6 лет назад

      How much of who we are is taught by our parents? Or taught to us by our social interactions with other people? School raises children far more than parents do, simply because of the environment. Kids learn everything about social behavior and personal interactions through school. You raise your kids, it what manner? By telling them to do things? Be polite, say please and thank you, share, be kind, courteous, all wonderful virtues. But in school, they see the actions of others, actions of the masses. I can tell you absolutely from person experience I learned more about how to be a person from school than my parents. And thats not saying my parents werent great parents, they were wonderful. The Model parents for any child growing up, love, compassion, understanding, but that still doesnt change the fact that its in school were children learn how to interact with others. You are a fool to say and think otherwise.

    • @gingerbread1555

      Brian Payne I can understand how you can agree with this idea, but i was in a school just like this once. I had so much anxiety and was too scared to ask questions, which made me really behind. I get some kids have been in this teaching mechanism and that they’re just used to it. It’s also, no matter what it is, still a good thing to say “please” and “thank you”. If the students don’t comply THEN you can be more forceful. But this is treating the students like they’ve been raised on a barn.
