Many of my young students have not been taught manners. I insist they say please, thank you, sorry for . . . (I don't like sorry without identifying what for as it doesn't feel sincere to me), and that they wait until the adults are done talking before talking (stand quietly waiting, don't interrupt.) It is amazing how many are not taught these skills at home.
AS for me and my children -- we are not perfect, but we have manners!
