I agree, but in general this generation is not growing up with telephone or face-to-face etiquette. Though we know things will not go back to the way they were technologically speaking, it is up to us parents to inculcate the value of taking human emotions into consideration to our kids instead of allowing them to hide behind a text, an e-mail of FB. I'm glad you're part of the group of socially-conscious parents upholding 'old school' communication among your kids and their peers.
