Should charm be taught in schools?

This is a really interesting article published today by BBC news all about charm.  The first thing I did though before hitting the keys of my computer to blog about charm   was to look up the definition of the word in my trusted Collins dictionary:

Charm: the quality of attracting, fascinating, or delighting people.

Stephen Bayley the author of this article believes that charm is a very effective communication tool. With charm you take an interest in the other person without being overbearing and intrusive. A charming person can make the other person feel good about themselves.

So what do you think about his idea of charm being taught in schools? Why not take a look at what Stephen says before making up your mind?
