The posters, and campaign in general, are not only addressing children but also adults. For adults to be teaching manners to their children they themselves must first have them.
Oh, and let's not pretend that they don't have manners - of course they do, they are just lacking in several that are important to us . . . and there is no 'they'.
Thank <insert> that people in our home countries raise their children to be considerate human beings with impeccable manners
