OUR VISION
We interact with people on a daily basis
who comment on the lack of manners in today’s
society. Manners of the Heart is based
on the belief that manners are the result
of respectfulness. Without respect students cannot
learn, teachers cannot teach, parents cannot
guide, and businesses cannot sustain
business.
We continue to pour millions of dollars
into our school systems and work environments
to add more technology. But, technology
can’t solve our society's “heart
problems”:
low-academic achievement,
soaring drop-out rates, epidemic suicides
among teenagers, escalating violence in
children under the age of ten,
domestic violence, corporate theft, divorces,
contractual violations...
Every adult is responsible for every child
of the next generation, therefore we are
all to blame, but can all be part of the
solution. In our society we are seeing the
results of generations raised to place themselves
ahead of others. We’ve lost our
sense of corporate responsibility and concern
for others. We desperately need to find
common ground as parents, educators, and
business executives for the sake of our children.
It is therefore the intent of Manners of
the Heart to provide applicable character
education for children, teenagers, and adults
to confront today’s issues of disrespectfulness,
selfishness, and lack of integrity. Our programs
differ from other character education, because
we provide application level tools for our
participants.
The never changing vision of Manners of
the Heart is to raise the next generation
to have not only head knowledge to lead,
but heart knowledge to lead in the right
direction.
