If we don't teach them now, when will they learn? For me, it goes for anyone. If a girl called a guy a dick and it upset him, then she should have to go to the office as well.<br /><br />And for the record, I don't want any gay guys calling me a bitch, either. Fine, if you're joking around once or twice and we all have a laugh. But to be permanently referred to as someone's bitch? No thank you.<br /><br />I guess some people think that using "negative" words as an endearment reduces the power of that negative word. That's nice in theory, but I'm not convinced it really works. I guess it depends on context and how the recipient of that language feels about it.<br /><br />It's one of those things people have been debating for ages. :PValerie Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267319902957832461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490271356697591396.post-33987018056086924852010-02-13T09:41:49.446-06:002010-02-13T09:41:49.446-06:00true, but these are only middle schoolers. i doubt...true, but these are only middle schoolers. i doubt they're seriously thinking of their future jobs. i know i wasn't back n those days.Mystery Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578042603632384597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490271356697591396.post-83706332982233916852010-02-13T07:45:03.486-06:002010-02-13T07:45:03.486-06:00I think your students need to learn that school is...I think your students need to learn that school is not a time to use that kind of language. Most of them are not likely to get jobs where they can call their coworkers names. Many words can hurt and offend in one context and be perfectly fine in another context it is not just swear words. Your student was being disrespectful.sundcarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866482585240648400noreply@blogger.com
