[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would nip that in the bud. Bad language is a hard habit to break and the way we speak (and type) informs other peoples' impression of us. I know a lot of people think it is the age but as a middle school teacher I think you need to reel that language in. I am pretty appalled at all the posters here who think it is okay to curse, and who aren't blinking an eye at a 6th or 7th grader cursing. Yikes.[/quote] I heartily agree. It's intellectual laziness at its core - not wanting to find interesting and creative ways to express your feelings, but going for the obvious that everyone uses. That's why I don't allow swearing in my house. I want my children to think for themselves. There are so many fruity and pungent words to express frustration. [/quote] I'd be more upset if my dc texted "fruity " or "pungent" to their peers. Might as well wear a "kick me" sign on their back.[/quote] :lol: [/quote]
