Why Modern Manners?

The only thing harder than teaching teens and tweens in this digital age is being a teen in this digital age. Modern Manners Classroom Edition lessons will help give kids a better chance at navigating our modern world with confidence.

One unanticipated consequence of personal technology devices is the crippling effect they can have on teens' ability to relate to others and be present in the world around them. With eyes down or headphones in much of the time, our teens miss critical life lessons that would otherwise be picked up through daily interactions.

As if that’s not enough, our teens today are expected to figure out the dos and don’ts of an online presence and virtual connections without much guidance. There’s a lot that needs to be taught deliberately to give them the best chance
for success.

The more people on their side, the better chance they have at creating a life they are proud of. Modern Manners Classroom Edition makes it easy to integrate these important concepts with things you are already doing in your classroom. These simple and connective moments will improve your students' personal lives, your classroom and the school as a whole.

I truly believe our teens want to be successful, they just aren’t always sure how to do it. Teachers (like you!) are often on the front lines, sacrificing themselves, in order to give these kids a fighting chance. Thank you.

I hope this Modern Manners course will transform your classroom and prepare your students for a successful life in this modern world.

Love,

Brooke Romney

Praise for Modern Manners from teachers...

This year our 8th grade science teacher started her classes spending a few minutes introducing a Modern Manner of the day, and it has been amazing to see how well the students have taken to it and implemented these into their daily lives.
I highly recommend this to any middle school teacher with a good relationship with their students, no matter what subject you teach.

I think our kids really need some guidance in this area, and this resource is very relevant and well done." The Way You Smell Matters", "Nothing Online is Private" and "Don't Leave One Person Out" have been some of the favorites so far.

I’m a school counselor and purchased this for my office. It’s astounding how many students don’t have boundaries and lessons at home and are still learning to navigate social situations. I brought it home to use with my younger kids after using it at my office for a few months and my kids are fascinated with the manners and it sparks questions for them which I love

We do “teen tip Tuesday” at my school, I’ve used it for students aged 12-18. I think it’s a great reminder of all the things your parents told you but you didn’t think were important 🤣 and let’s be honest, too many parents aren’t teaching their children good manners. My own kids have benefitted so much from this book in our home! Like all of Brooke’s writing, it’s non-judgmental, clear, and helpful. I love that she explains the WHY in a way that isn’t too wordy!
