[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids literally say the N word all day long in the halls. [/quote]

Yes, and on the bus. And it's not just the black kids. [/quote]

It’s not and it’s a huge problem. But that doesn’t mean teachers need to be saying it, even in the context of “Junior said n- in class!” It is just as easy to say “Junior said the n word and racial slurs aren’t appropriate language at school.” Easy, and now you’re not on camera looking like a buffoon. I’m a teacher myself and I swear it’s like once a year at school there’s an issue of a teacher getting themselves in hot water because they just HAVE to say this word to report a kid said it or because when they were telling kids not to use the word, they themselves used the word, and now it’s like ok well you’re a problem.

Was this a teacher or a staff member?  I thought I read earlier that it was not a teacher.[/quote]

I have no idea as I haven’t seen this video. But I’m telling you as a teacher, every school year some teacher or staff member manages to get themselves in this situation even if it never makes it on video that the public sees. They feel the need to repeat the actual word a student said and then it becomes a disciplinary thing with a letter in their file or a kid being moved out of their class or something. It makes no damn sense to me. [/quote]
