I wish I had an answer. I'm not familiar with what's being taught in schools today (and of course there isn't a unitary "school" experience anyway). What I remember from growing up was a lot of "it's the thought that counts." Which might explain the widespread "but I didn't mean anything by it!" response when I notify someone that they're stepping on my neck -- or have a hand on my shoulder. (Today. Again. Twice, same person.)
