Our society is becoming less and less civilized in regard to how we treat one another, in general. The day of Yes, Ma'am and No, Sir, seem to have gone by the wayside in most instances. Stories of road rage, school shootings, vicious fights, drive by shootings, should be alarming enough to all of us to make us realize that we must act now before things get so much worse, that there will be little to nothing, that we can do as educators.
Instead of thinking that civilty is something that should be taught by someone other than the teacher, it's time we take a personal vow to do whatever it takes to make a difference. We can begin now and turn back the tide of our diseased and injured society.
