[quote=Anonymous]We didn't ban. We don't allow them to be used directed at another person. We also have told them that if they slip and use one at school and are heard, the consequences are on them. All four kids have reported mild swearing by their teachers and that most teachers don't care if it's mild swearing. And by mild swearing, "oh damn" and "shit" are light but the b-word and f-word are frowned upon in school. I work in a male-dominated field and swearing is definitely needed to 'fit in' as the lone female c-suite holder. I don't view using certain language as being "low class" or "ghetto" like some people. My sister won't let her kids swear so they use other made up/alternate words instead. It's like... why? You KNOW what that made up word means as does everyone else. Like, her kids will say "he's an absolute dump truck" and dump truck is in place of dumb fk. They also can't say Jesus Christ, so they Cheesy Rice in place. It's dumb, IMO. [/quote]
