When I worked at KS, we had an expert come in and coach us on business etiquette and there was a period of time when new copies of Emily Post's book were given to new employees. I have to admit I haven't cracked mine open to this day. I'd like to think it's common sense (at least, for me)...like avoiding a collision on the street. Yet I'd love to give a copy to quite a few! I do wish that if they took the time to update it, they would have omitted the obvious -and yet, maybe that's the point of "you get it or you don't"...what's obvious to some is not to others. My sister's (private) school offered Pink Lemonade classes, which taught them to attend a dinner party or other social events and it was really adorable. I wish they offered etiquette classes to all schools since not everybody's parents teach this at home, sadly (like my in-laws...wink).Tiffany from HOLIDAYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785950236551788694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683448766058931668.post-25914083162081619702011-10-06T07:41:36.188-07:002011-10-06T07:41:36.188-07:00Oh, I must get a copy!
