  Case: Everything is Gay
Students in Mr. Jones' class have a habit of calling anything with negative gay. Mr. Jones has requested the students find an alternative word but they continue to use it. How can he convince students to not use this word in negative contexts only?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the student continues to use that word in a negative connotation, I would either make a phone call home to make sure parents are aware and maybe give the students a few warnings. If the students still continues, make sure there is a effective system in line to make sure they have appropriate behavior.

Comments: I think that making phone calls to home would be a bad solution, it is better to address the problem in a different way. Some parents might not consider this to be an important issue and they might get upset about it.

Comments: While I do agree with these actions, I believe it is very important for the students to understand why the negative connotation with being gay is offensive and inappropriate language in the classroom. If the behavior persists after this classroom meeting, then action to the parents may happen.

Comments: i dont think calling home is the right solution, as the student might not understand the term. i would educate the class about the word before taking action such as that.
