Was talking about this with some teachers today--

What is your position on students using "cuss" words in school? Should they be punished? How? If so, which words should be prohibited? If you take the position that it's more contextual, then what contexts, and are there words that are never permissable in spite of context?

And of course... why?

Sorry if it sounds like I'm asking for an essay. Just like to get other people's opinions first before they comment on mine. You may have noticed the trend.

It's the systems's, and by extension, the school's, responsibility to impose a sense of structure and social accountability on the students. It's the parents' duty to teach their kids when and how that structure can be tastefully disregarded.

If, as a teacher, I was privy to a moment wherein I felt a student had tastefully disregarded that structure by cussing, I'd let it go. But any kid that's not some tard with Tourette's shouting c-nt in the middle of algebra class is going to receive an assful of detention. Or maybe a mouthful, if she's hot.

If you're not going to actually respond to the OP, fuck off... pretty please.



Apparently the kind of people that educate your ******* children.

Only if the school is in OOT.

The nobility of failure.

Everytime one of my friends has done poorly in school and rebounds with the news "guess what I am going to be a teacher" the only response polite enough I can muster is "I'm sorry for you".

A firm believer in "those who can, do; those who can't, teach"?

And I speel gud!

They decide this while in college? They're probably part of the 50% of new teachers who quit within the first 3 years.

Your pity is warranted.

Thank you for actually expressing an opinion, really. Nevermind that we probably all knew what you'd say.

Can we throw rotten veggies at them?

I contribute nothing..... nothing lewbowski!

People f;ucking swear, most of us realize there is a time and a place for that type of sh'it. School is a different situation because the its kids testing there f'ucking boundaries with only minor penalties for breaking the rules while practicing airs of youthful defiance. Banning words is pretty f'ucking pointless.

That's beside the f'ucking point. The point is that you are thick f'ucking dullard who can't even frame the discussion in an interesting manner. Are we talking about the need to enforce social mores that were enforced on us, on expectations of behaviour based on social setting, about language taboo and where the line is crossed, about state employees telling peoples children what they can or cannot say. No we get a f'ucking outline of a discussion more hamfisted than a flipper baby with mits on.

So forgive me if I show you nothing short of sheer f'ucking contempt. Ask an interesting f'ucking question in an intelligent manner and get a real response. If you want to sound like deep thoughts in a freshman community college class while giving the pretense of adult conversation then get the f'uck out.

****.
