I’m a teacher with first grade students dropping F bombs. One mistaken damnit is an error but it’s not the end of the world, OP. Use incidents like this to help you stay focused on being the teacher you want to be.

She probably has to say it all the time because they won’t “shut it”? These kids talk so damn much!


There are more appropriate phrases that don’t sound like shut up, such as “Let’s get quiet.” Sounds like this teacher needs a behavior management system to get the talking under control without resorting to yelling.



Even the best teachers cannot always control talking. It is shocking how many kids have no control.


High school teacher back again. It’s unbelievable this year. In several classes, I have kids having full on loud conversations while I’m trying to teach. I have been teaching over 20 years and haven’t seen anything like it. High school. I stand there silently and stare. Usually the other kids tell them to stop but on Friday I had a class who didn’t. More started talking. I had to go and start flicking the lights like they were in kindergarten. It went on all class. I felt bad for the few kids trying to pay attention. It made me want to leave at the end of the year. I was thinking worse than damn it.


So many students are both rude and disrespectful this year.


That’s been my experience as well. I love teaching but the working conditions are getting so bad… I may have to join the exodus.

Haha. No. You should hear the things so much worse that your kid's classmates are saying on the playground and on the bus. I guarantee that your kids has heard All the Words.

Damn it is nothing in comparison.

OMG we all know you're the parent and your kid just told you that his teacher said damn it. No, lady, do not email the principal, he will just add you to the crazy list, if you're not already on it.

I don’t understand this post. Are you a teacher who said it and want to email your own principal? No. I don’t even think it’s a curse word anymore.

Im a HS teacher and I can’t count the amount of times nice, polite, respectful kids let curse words slip out in casual conversation while talking to me. Even the F word. They don’t even realize it until I point it out and then they are embarrassed. I don’t think any would notice if I ever slipped up and said dammit.

Literally nothing to do with the topic but someone wants attention

Please, go ahead.

During virtual learning in MCPS, my 5th grader's teacher blasted out offensive lyrics at the beginning of every class.

You've got a long parenting road ahead of you if you react to every little mishap.


You need to work on reading comprehension. OP is the teacher.

Nobody bleep out the word "damn."

It's not offensive enough.
