[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I would be grateful to a teacher for teaching my kid that that type of behavior isn't accepted. There may be more colorful language going about but that doesn't make it ok. Let your kid experience a consequence for using a word that is considered a slur and is hurtful to others. Have a conversation with him about WHY this word is hurtful to some even if that isn't what he INTENDED. It's an opportunity as a parent to teach that your intentions aren't the only thing that matters. He may not have intended it that way, and his friend may not have been super hurt, but to others it can be a very hurtful word because of what it represents. This is a good lesson to learn as a middle schooler. Your intentions are only a piece of the puzzle.[/quote]

Would like to clarify the wow isn't for what your kid did, this is typical middle school behavior but it does not need to be corrected. The wow was your reaction to minimize the behavior instead of teaching your kid to be accountable for things and experience consequences.[/quote]
