In this case you don’t say if you don’t have manners then no recess, you just simple call it what it is poor manners and not make excuses for it. Period!

I'm sorry that some people feel that we should just except that people don’t all ways do the right thing or behave in the right manner. I could and would expect that from a person who may have been educated in another country or have a different back ground but as my daughter once said to me as we watched grown adults cut in line at an exit. She said mommy did these people not go to school? I said why you ask me that honey she said they could not have gone to school because in school they teach us to wait our turn in line and not to cut in -front of other people. Did they not teach that to them what was I to answer that grown adult don't have to follow the very rules that we teach our children. So I say to you what I said to her, don't you have that one person in class that does not follow the rules. She said yes.... I said that is the same child that grows up and still never follows the rules. Then my daughter said do the continue to get in trouble and my answer to her was yes they do until other people start making excuse then that lets them off the hook.
