[quote=Anonymous][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] Exactly this. I’m fine with swearing at or about a situation, but not using those words as weapons towards somebody else. My kids are 14 and 18 and best I can tell her approach has worked pretty well.[/quote] +1[/quote]
