In the past, a student who was courteous and respectful was admired and well thought of by other students. Today, the student who is disrespectful and rude is sometimes thought to be &#8220;cool.&#8221; Listen to the words of Eric Hoffer, a former longshoreman turned philosopher: <em>Rudeness is the weak man&#8217;s imitation of strength.<\/em> In other words, being rude is a cover-up for weakness and insecurity. Today, ask yourself this question: When people feel good about themselves, how do they behave? Are they rude&#8230; or strong and caring? Are they disrespectful &#8230; or courteous and respectful? According to Mr.Hoffer, being rude is the weak thing to do. What do you think?<\/p>\n<p><b>LUNCH:<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do you bring your lunch from home?
