[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of them is they cannot say "Oh my gosh" (in addition to "Oh my God" or "OMG")

This is one of those phrases that my daughter seems to say quite often (as do I). I'm not sure I understand his reasoning behind not being allowed to say this (I somewhat understand "Oh my God" as he thinks that can be offensive to people which is why I and my children tend to say "Oh My Gosh). And my daughter as well as a few other kids have already gotten in trouble for saying it (7 days into the new school year).

Does this rule seem excessive? Or is it a typical rule to keep middle schoolers in line?[/quote]

Maybe you should teach your child to appreciate differences?  Not all teachers have the same style.  Get your (or yourself) used to that fact.[/quote]

What is the teacher was Muslim and forbade anyone from mentioning Jesus, including expressions like "jeez."  Would you say that was just a difference and the kids should get used to it?[/quote]

The only reason a Muslim would have a problem with this is taking an important religious personages name in vain, same reason a Christian might.[/quote]
