The student swears intentionally, or may not even be aware that he/she is swearing. The student even declare that there is nothing wrong with swearing. How do you deal with a student like J.M.? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I tell my students that "potty mouth" is not acceptable. There are always other words we can choose to express how we are feeling at any given time. I also try to make it personal and tell them that I don't speak that way, my children are not allowed to speak that way and when they say those ugly words it's putting them in my head and making me think them. What we put in our minds comes out. Sometimes when I call it "potty mouth" they think it's silly and will back off. Other times the situation needs to be referred to the office.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this is a good and well thought out solution.
