  Case: The Swearer
J.M is a swearer. The student uses profanity continually. Uses it anyplace anytime and in the presence of anyone. 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 have not had a student that swears but have had some that talked about inappropriate things. I too used the leadership role to help get the student to make necessary changes from talking about things not appropriate for school. I would make sure that this student knew they were a "role model" for students and that they set and example. In order for this student to be a role model, they could not talk about these types of things. It took some time, but it eventually worked!
