In colonial times, they used books to teach children strict rules. Here are some of the rules from the table manners section.

1. Come not to the table without having your hands and face washed and head comed.

2.Sit not down till thou art bidded by parents or other superiors.

3. Offer not to carve for thyself, or to take anything, though it be that which thou dost greatly desire.

4. Ask not for anything, but tarry till offered thee.

5.Find no fault in anything given thee.

6. Speak not at the table. If thy superiors are discussing, meddle not with the discourse but be silent. Except of course when thou art spoken to.

7. Eat not too much, but moderately.

8. Lift not thy eyes nor roll them well drinking

9. Make not a noise with thy tongue, mouth, or lips in thy eating or drinking.

10. Make always a bow when come to the table.

When scout questions Walter's table manners you learn something about clapping and about her place in the familly. what do you learn why might this surprise some of the citizens of maycomb?

Scout's questioning of Walter's table manners reveals that she is more concerned with manners and social conventions compared to the rest of her family. This may surprise some citizens of Maycomb who expect children to conform to traditional gender roles and social expectations, instead of questioning them like Scout does.

What people think of bad manners?

Friday is National Good Manners day. So you'd all better mind your Ps & Qs. Are manners important? If you meet someone with bad manners, do you think less of them? Do you get fed up with your parents always telling you off about your behaviour? Come on, let us know what you think, but don't SHOUT. Manners are very important. They show that someone has been brought up well and that they can behave. Having manners show the type of person that you are! Stephanie, 14, Shropshire I think manners are important and every family should teach their children some manners. Melanie, 13, London I think the only time you should really use manners is when you want to make a good impression like meeting your boyfriend's mum and dad! Abbie, 13, Oxfordshire I think some manners are a bit silly like don't have your elbows on the table. But I hate it when my best mate swears in front of me! Josie, 10, Southend
