Finishing School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A finishing school (or charm school) is "a private school for girls that emphasises training in cultural and social activities." The name reflects that it follows on from ordinary school and is intended to complete the educational experience, with classes primarily on etiquette. It may consist of an intensive course, or a one-year program.

 

I bring this up because of the increasing number of interactions I have had or heard about with people whose behavior is truly out of order. It is like every interaction is some snipet or parody of Basketball Wives. Everyone wants to be a Diva, Drama Queen, or Bad Girl. I for one am over it. These chicks and dudes need to learn some manners. They also need to learn to walk in heels because I am severly annoyed and over women clopping around like Frankenstein. Practice or wear flats, really...I mean it.

 

People can laugh at the idea of going to school to learn how to walk, talk and be a lady, but the way I see people acting out like spoiled toddlers with bad parents, the more I come to realize that we as a country need more finishing schools.

 

The time for finishing schools have passed as women developed more options for their life trajectory than wife and hostess. The problem is that we have lost the art of appropriate social interaction. We talk to loud about inappropriate topics in stores. We have huge private issue fights in the mall and on street corners. We clap and watch as grown women fight over nonsense and grown men throw things in what looks like steroid rage. At first I thought is was so that we could laugh and thank God that we don't act like that idiot, but now I see millions of people lined up to emmulate this clowns.

 

What is wrong with you people? Do you know that cursing at work is one of the number one reasons for being skipped over for a promotion? Do you know that inappropriate dress is also at the top of the list? There is a reason why Snooki does not have an office job. There is a reason why NeNe is on Glee and not behind the desk of a Fortune 500.

 

That is why I am saving my old hard back dictionary. Suga Booga is totally going to be walking acroos the living room with it on her head because whether she becomes Miss America or a fighter pilot, she will need to look like she has some sense.

 

Head straight, shoulders back and mouth shut. Heck, I may even save one for LoLo.
