Why else do they have etiquette consultants present seminars in the workplace and to graduating seniors in universities (well, they did at my school, anyway)? They didn't have to do that in the past, because kids WERE polished.

For someone who claims to value the religous environment that the parents bring, you seem to view parenting as some kind of vocational school. That is very, very odd. There is nothing more important than love. You can compensate for a lack of polish later in life. Good luck compensating for unloving parents. I also challange you to find any religion that places polish, as a prioruty, over love.
