[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I told my kids is that I don't care if they curse, but I care that they not curse AT people. And they absolutely can NOT use racially aggressive words.[/quote] This, and also to know your audience. I don't really care if they swear among themselves because they are trying out the power of words. But I care a lot more if they are swearing in the classroom or in conversations with teachers/other adults. So far my 5th grader seems to understand those limits.[/quote] +1. Everyone says things around friends they wouldn’t say around others. It about kids learning context, boundaries, Situational awareness, and how to maintain respect. The goal of monitoring text is not to punish kids for everything in them, but maintain awareness of what’s going on, help keep them safe, and help them navigate growing up in a digital environment.[/quote]
