When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying “Yes ma’am” or “No, sir.” Just nodding your head is not acceptable.

    Because I grew up in rural North Carolina, this rule comes    36    to me, and it seems the obvious choice to come first. If you want children to respect you, you have to let them know    37  . Simply telling them you want them to address you by saying “sir” lets them know   38      you expect them to treat you. I also tell my students it’s a very useful tool when    39   with adults, and furthermore it also     40    handy for any adult interacting with another adult. Case in point: I was   41     the phone recently with the phone company discussing the inaccuracies(差错) of my    42   . The lady I spoke to was not 43    and seemed annoyed.    44   , in the midst of the conversation, I threw in a “yes, ma’am,” and her entire  45   changed. She became far more helpful and   46   to deal with, and she   47   cutting my bill in half.

Some of my students in Harlem were to be   48   for a chance to attend a high-rated junior high school. The school only had thirty openings for the following year, and twelve of my students were   49   the many kids across the city who applied for the spots. I practiced what the interview would be   50   with my students, and one main thing I stressed was, “  51   you say ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no sir’ no matter what!” Weeks after the interviews, I was delighted to hear that all twelve of my students had been   52   . When I talked with the admissions director at the school, the main   53   he made over and over was how   54    my students were in their interviews. It seemed like just such a simple thing to do, but it gets   55   .

“Oh no, it isn’t,” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”
