Not all of it is needing to be taught. Some of these kids just don't have the clothes, etc. There was a kid in my class that got picked on constantly because he had greasy hair and not so clean clothes. I find it amazing that people/kids seem to go to extremes to pick on, call people names etc because they may not be as perfect as themselves. I found out the kid had no water because his mother couldn't pay the bill and it was shut off. So before bad mouthing others put yourself in their place and you may have a different perspective.

i need to get this comment in before this thread gets locked, what would people have thought ifn it were ten white kids and one black dressed the same way? i will give you 3 guesses and if you dont get it right on the first guess your in denial. Exactly right, but it’s only allowed to go 1 way

This is great but it's a shame it has to be taught in the schools and it isn't learned at home. I have the highest respect for teachers that not only own the task of providing an education, but also have to teach self respect, how to act and how to dress. I teach Automotive at a Tech College. It's amazing to all the instructors I work with how few 20 somethings know how to shake someone's hand. We have this conversation often. We fit some of those skills into our curriculum(we call them critical life skills, Communication, Problem solving,Self-management, Time management,Etc.) as well as Automotive Technology. Crazy how many young folks don't have those simple life skills. I agree...these are skills that used to be(and should be) taught at home. Let teachers teach, not show your kid how not to an [censored]. Kudos to those folks teaching that at a young age...it needs to happen more. Our society as a whole depends on it!! the last sentence says it all. my opinion, take the damn PHONE away from our kids ! they spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME with their heads buried in the screen to learn how to PROPERLY COMMUNICATE with society ! rant off............

The majority of the members here apparently can afford to enjoy our expensive hobby, maybe during this season you could contact your local school system and find the true families in need and make an anonymous contribution so that they can have food and warm clothes, even make contact with this teacher in the OP’s post and send a contribution so he can recruit more young men into his program. The End
Sorry honey I spent the rent

Why does the only white boy in that picture not have a long sleeve dress shirt on with a tie   Short sleeve shirt while wearing a tie was not that unusual back a few decades, for anybody. Ever spent time at a drafting table with say a long-sleeve white shirt on? Depends on where it's worn to an extent.

The End I was the third post asking for details to do just that and so far nothing. I've tried to Duckduckgo it with no success. So where do I go from here?
