Even kindergarteners learn respect and good manners

Dear Editor:

Thank you so much for your editorial in this week’s Southeast Sun. It was respectful and to the point.

When chaos erupts, nothing is accomplished. I worked as a kindergarten teacher in the system and retired with 40 years of successful teaching with the state of Alabama with many in the Enterprise School System. I had the pleasure of working with Thad Morgan and Jim Reese. I fully believe every decision made was in the best interest of the students not parents or employees of the system. This is how it should be and they were only doing their job.

I am appalled at the behavior that went on. This, to me, indicates we (the people at this meeting) are yet again on the very bottom of the list in the absence of using respect and good manners. In kindergarten children are taught showing respect by using good examples in the classroom. Everything kindergarten students learn in the classroom will guide them through life. That is the beautify and privilege of working with five year olds.
