[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok..once more, listen carefully: This is NOT an issue with religion or cursing. It's tween-age disrespect...that's all. It has nothing to do with GOD.

This entire thread could be held up as an example as to why decisions made about education by people who ARE NOT educators never work. People are clueless as to what children are like today.
OH MY GOD! :roll: [/quote]

OP here. The teacher said that the restriction against Oh my God and Oh my gosh were specifically because it's insulting to others because of saying "God" or the substitute "Gosh" which is why he told the kids to say, "Oh my goodness gracious" instead. The others like OMG, LOL and Legit was because it's text talk. The others like "I hate" and "Shut up" were because it's rude (which I agree with).

As to some other questions people asked me:

This is my daughter's 3rd year in this middle school. She is in 8th grader. We haven't had this type of policy in any of her 6th or 7th grade classes or from the other 8th grade teachers this year.

This is not a school in the DC area (although we used to live there which is why I am on the board).

I haven't heard that this is a "beloved" teacher or otherwise. There are only two 8th grade math teachers and the other one won "teacher of the year" a couple of years back. [/quote]
