Planting the Seeds of Good Manners

by: Catherine Spangler, from: Prime Time Postscript, January 26, 2010

At tea parties in Seattle, little girls are learning what NOT to do when they’re visiting someone’s home.

Namely, don’t snoop in the medicine cabinet.

They’re also learning - thanks to Mrs. DeGroot’s Charm School - what they should do: chin up, shoulders square, and don’t sit down until you’re invited to by the host.

Press play on the audio player to meet Mrs. DeGroot and to join in on a lesson, brought to you by independent producer Catherine Spangler.
