SAT 10/11
In a world where high-schoolers need to be schooled on the overuse of the N-word, it’s no wonder getting old-school manners means going back to school. The Kid’s Village Youth Etiquette Camp gives youngsters the cues they need to gracefully navigate through precarious social events like greeting our nation’s leader. Former high school English teacher Lynne Moore runs these seminars. She’s taught etiquette for 5 years and is certified by the same protocol outfit that teaches the Joint Chiefs of Staff how to mind their own P’s and Q’s. Not only will young folks, ages 9 to 13, learn the art of the thank-you letter, the left-handed nuances of continental dining, and how to appropriately answer a phone through role-playing exercises, but the course also promises to fine-tune attention skills. This way should your kid actually score a meeting with the Prez, he or she will have the necessary aplomb to rescue the moment should our beloved leader mistake his right hand for his left, as George W. did during a recent press conference. — By Victor Cruz
