Protocol of Respect

We have all heard the phrase, “Respect is earned, not given.” However true that may be strictly depends on what a child’s perception of respect is. You cannot learn to show respect until it is understood why it needs to be given. Giving respect goes beyond the ability to follow guidelines or rules; however important they may be, but it is the learned thought process that has to be trained to understand why respect should be given. Training a child starts with basic guidelines such as the list below, and then broadens as their confidence and learning grows. Watching the gleam in your child’s eyes as they start to build confidence and grow into a pattern of giving respect is the most awesome part of our teaching experience.

1) Bow toward the training area any time you enter or leave it.

2) Always address your instructors as “Mr., Ms., Mrs., Sir or Ma’am.”

3) When asked a question or your instructor comments on something, the

appropriate answer should always be “Yes/No Sir” or “Yes/No Ma’am.”

4) Never correct your instructor during class, just do as your instructor asks.

5) Always bow to the flag when entering or exiting the training area.

6) Always raise your hand if you have something to say, never just shout answers out, talk out of turn or talk over someone else.

7) Always bow to your instructor with right hand grabbing left wrist, look to the floor then back into his/her eyes.

8) If you are late for class or you must leave the training area for any reason you must ask for your instructor’s approval to join or rejoin class by asking, “Permission to join/rejoin class Sir/Ma’am” before entering training area.

9) If you must leave the training area for any reason, raise your hand and ask your instructor to leave the training area (except in emergency situations).

10) Always help your fellow classmates and treat them with courtesy.

11) Never push another student when lining up, if there is an error in the line up, politely ask them to move or ask your instructor for assistance.
