À propos de cet audio
Please, thank you, after you… Do manners matter? Are they artifice or virtue?
In this rebroadcast from 2019, lower school head Colin Gleason shares how manners can be the building blocks to a richer moral life—the habituation of virtue. He then offers practical advice for families and schools to help even young boys strengthen their "moral muscle" through manners that matter.
