Inappropriate student talk
My elementary school students have recently started the new habit of talking about things they've seen on TikTok, and needless to say it's usually inappropriate for school. How do I limit this conversation without giving them the negative attention that I feel they're looking for? |

I would find some time to speak with them alone, like after or before class. I would talk to them and let them know what they are saying is inappropriate and not allowed. If you don't see any change, I would talk to their parents. TikTok is also a 12+ app, children in elementary shouldn't be on the app. I would talk to the parents and let them know. |

I would say that it is important to have a discussion about what is appropriate in the classroom and what is not. These are lessons that they will carry forward not only in school but in life. |

I'd say reward students who do not use the inappropriate language as an incentive for others to do the same. There is also the possibility that since they are so young they don't truly know the meaning behind what they say and if that is the case, you could speak to them individually and let them know what they say is not appropriate in the classroom setting and could be offensive to their peer as well. |

You can establish some classroom guidelines, such as not allowing discussion of certain inappropriate topics or questions. This decision might seem too direct, but it would be highly effective. |
