It is absolutely important to raise respectful and polite children. Nothing is more irritating and off putting than a rude and disrespectful child. If you do not train your child to show respect to other people, life would teach him or her the hard way. No one responds positively to disrespect and so your child will be disliked and disfavored meaning he/she would more often than not experience the bad aspects of situations. Apart from this, disrespectful children brings reproach to their parents.

Do you know that you would be blamed if your kids turn out badly and your abilities as a parent would be questioned? All of the above are very easily avoidable. It is not rocket science at all and as simple as; teaching your kids the basic principles of respect; to say thank you when they receive items or services or advice, to apologize when wrong, to understand other people's boundaries and take care not to cross them, and so on and so forth. I wish us all good luck as we do our best to raise good kids who would be pillars of our societies and not those whole tear them apart.

You are right. A well mannered child is a Joy to the parents. The Bible teaches that we should train our children in the ways of the Lord, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
This is a fact that we need to understand as parents irrespective of whether we are religious or not. We must instill good manners and character in our children at their tender age, so that by the time they grow up, it would have become part of their personality.
I am forevermore grateful to my dad and mom for the way they raised me. They were the no nonsense, hardworking, truthful, fearless and respectful breed that hated evil ways and injustice.
Cheers

Yes... but i've seen the opposite as well. When you try your best to raise respectful children but the child has a hardened heart - set against honoring parents.

even though you've done your best - people still judge you as a bad parent by looking at the child.

All you can do is teach them the way they should go and hope that one day - they will remember the principles that you've planted into their heart and that God will bless them with eyes to see and ears to hear.

nice post that encourages discussion :)

Thanks so much @dreemsteem. You are absolutely right about this too. God help us raise good kids!
