Have been watching Today for ages !!! these last few weeks I have been watching the trivia and spelling bee that they have been doing with the children, Its great to watch them and see their faces when they get the right answers, what bothers me though when they are told what they going to get as a prize, their smiles are even bigger. but I don't hear a THANKYOU !!. A couple of children have said thanks, but it seems the majority don't know the words exist !!!. Are they not taught to say thankyou when they are given a gift ??? Just asking :)
