Manners at School
What if students did not raise their hands in class? What if they
shouted their answers at the same time? It would be too loud
to think! Let others know that you care. Use your manners
and raise your hand. Wait for the teacher to call your name.
It shows that you respect the teacher and other students.
There are other ways to show your manners at school.
You spend a lot of time in class. And many other students
are there, too. With good manners, it is easier for everyone
to learn and have fun.

In Class
First you need to get to class on time. If you are late, you
will interrupt the class. It is noisy when you come into a
classroom. The teacher may stop teaching to talk with you.
The other students will stop listening to the teacher. Say,

“I am sorry I am late.”
Remember your polite words
in class. Say, “Please” and “Thank
you.” Ask if you can borrow a
pencil. Never grab one off a
student’s desk.

Did You
Know?
Chinese students must
take classes on manners
in school. They learn
table manners and how
to stand in line, plus
many other things.


Listen and be patient in class. Do what the teacher says.
The teacher will give directions for a project. Listen to the
directions first. Don’t start until the teacher is done. You
might make a big mess!

Other Students
Be nice to other students. If someone is alone, invite him
to join your group. Ask, “Do you want to join us?” It is not
fun to be left out.

If you see a new student, help out if you can.
Introduce yourself. Say, “Hi! My name is Max. What is
your name?” Show the new student where things are in
the classroom. Ask him to join you for lunch, too. It can be
lonely to be in a new school.
Listen when another student answers a question. Do
not laugh if the answer is wrong. Do not make weird faces

either. Show your respect by being quiet. Make the other
student feel good about his answer. Say, “Good job!” or
“Great answer!”

Talking with Teachers

You should talk with teachers in class and in the halls.
Look the teacher in his eyes. Say, “Hello Mr. Berg. How
are you?” It can make a teacher’s day! And if your teacher
asks how you are, make sure you answer. Say, “I am great.
Thanks for asking!”
In class, ask the teacher if you can go to the bathroom.
Say, “May I be excused, please?” Be sure it is okay before
you leave.

School Property
Your teacher works hard to make your classroom look nice.
The school also buys many supplies for students to use.
Treat the classroom well. Do not break the pencils. Put
supplies away when you are done. Your classroom will
stay nice and tidy.
Your desk should be clean and organized. Keep your
papers in neat piles. Put crayons back in the box. Do not
let your desk be a garbage dump! A clean desk shows you
respect your school.
And keep the top of your desk clean, too. Do not doodle or
scribble on it! A new student will be using the desk next year.

In the Lunchroom
Oh yummy! It is time for lunch. Wait in the lunch line nicely.
Do not stand too close to others in line. And say, “Please”
and “Thank you” to the lunch staff. They work hard to make
you a good lunch.
At your seat, talk quietly with your friends at the table.
Do not shout across the room. That
can get loud! Invite a new friend
to sit with you. It is a nice thing

to do. And keep your food on
your plate or in your mouth.
No food fights, please!

In many Japanese schools,
students each lunch in their
classrooms. Other students
may serve them lunch.


Are you done eating? Take your tray to the garbage. Put
cans and plastic in recycling bins. Make sure that the table is
clean. And walk out of the lunchroom—do not run.

15

No Germs, Please!
You are a little sick, but not sick enough to stay home. When
you cough, cover your mouth. If you sneeze, cover your
nose. It keeps others safe from your germs. Say, “Excuse me!”
If you are really sick, stay home.
Many people have to use the drinking fountain. Keep it
clean for others. Do not put garbage or gum in the fountain.
And keep your mouth away from the spout. Your germs will
stay in your mouth, not on the fountain.
Keep bathrooms clean. And always wash your hands after
you use the bathroom. Don’t forget the soap, too! Stay clean
to help others stay healthy.

On the Playground
Everyone loves recess. You get to play on the playground!
Be nice and take turns. Use the swing, but only for a little
while. Let another person swing. Move onto the slides next.
Be patient while you wait. The girl on the jungle gym will
be done in a minute. It will be your turn soon.
Do not push others. No one likes a bully. Include others
and ask them to play with you. Be kind and others will be

kind to you. Games are more fun when more people play.

19


A Bit More Polite
School is a great place to practice your good manners.
Manners help everyone learn at school. It is easier to eat and
play with manners, too. It is also easier to make friends with
good manners. And school is a great place to find friends.
Use your manners in class, the lunchroom, and on the
playground. Be kind and show your respect. Soon others
will give you an A+ for being so polite!
