I strongly believe in practicing what we preach, so I'd like the teachers (and maybe the staff also) to go through some sort of culture training (

Personal image: sitting, standing, walking, dressing, speakingTable mannersBeing a good conversationalistSocial networkingCommon Courtesies: being a good neighbor, living with othersNotes, letters, invitations, announcementsGreetingsSocial names and titlesHosts and guestsFormal dinners and partiesGiving and receiving gifts
International etiquette
