I purchased this DVD to use at our private high school for an etiquette training seminar. I had 11th and 12th grade boys in my group and found that they actually paid pretty good attention. We had good reports from the girls' group and the younger boys' group as well. The DVD has good information and is presented with the right amount of humor--they aren't groaning at the jokes! The information was also presented from a point of view that was very compatible with our Christian viewpoint (not overtly religious, but set a good, respectful tone). It's divided into short sections, which would lend itself to stopping for discussion. We skipped one or two sections that were going to be covered in another session, so it's also easy to tailor to your particular needs. We were very pleased overall.

I also had my children watch by calling it adult manners and so it helped the whole family.

I realize manners is always a boring subject matter but this is sad. Bought it for high school students and rather than face the groans of the classroom decided not to show it.
