Those are a variation on our school rules:
1. Respect your classmates
2. Respect your teacher
3. Respect your school
4. Respect yourself (by putting forth good effort)

Obviously “respect” is the underpinning of a successful life!

It still surprises me when my kids are complimented on their behavior in restaurants by older, grandparent-ly people; and it makes me wonder just how badly behaved other people allow their kids to be. Manners are extremely important in our house, as is respect. We have four rules posted on the walls: 1. Respect your house 2. Respect your parents 3. Respect yourself and others 4. Have fun! :) Rachaels last blog post..<a href="http://antithete.com/humid-windy-saturday/" rel="nofollow">Humid, windy Saturday.</a> Wow, Diane, it’s like you read my mind! :)
