The students at Westfield High school are learning something new today. They are learning the correct way to shake hands. Their teacher, Keltie Domina, tells them, "Don't use a limp-fish or a bone-crushing says, handshake." Ms.Domina says, "Always shake firmly with your right hand." This class is part of a new program at Westfield. Students are learning life skills, and Ms. Domina is teaching proper etiquette. In addition to learning to shake hands, students learn the correct etiquette for dining. They practice the right way to eat with knives and forks. They also discuss rude behavior, such as talking with food in your mouth, or placing your elbows on the table. Ms. Domina gives other advice, too. For example, she tells them to always send a thank you note when they receive a gift. She advises them to introduce people who don't know each other, and to speak quietly on cell phones in public places “Shoppers in the grocery store don't want to hear your conversation” Ms. Domina says. In addition to the lessons at school. the class visits businesses, such as banks and doctors' offices, to learn the correct manners there as well. Keltie Domina not only teaches this etiquette class, she is also the owner of a company called Keltie's Etiquette Training. She travels to businesses too, to teach employees proper etiquette. She and her husband have two children "I wanted my own children to know what's right and wrong," she says. So, she took an etiquette class herself, and eventually she became an instructor. Ms. Domina thinks it's very important that children learn these lessons, which will become very useful in the future. Charles Baptiste, a student in Ms. Domina's class, agrees. He used these skills when he went on a job interview, and he got the job. "It's very important to use good manners when you're meeting new people.
