Many parents in US teach their children to use the word "please" every time they seek the attention of other people, why don't some parents teach their kids table manners? I have this friend of mine,all the time I have been at table with them, I see their kids speaking while holding food in their mouth? Actually my friends do it too and it's disgusting and improper, I am of view that if you want to talk while eating, few chew the food and swallow it,then speak for that matter, it's just a needed courtesy of others on the table. What's your take on this?
