  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!)
I would ask the students if they knew what that word meant, and ask them to give me what they think it means. Then I would tell them if they keep using that word there will be consequences. I would tell them that there is no reason to use that kind of language in the classroom they might be able to use it at home but not in my classroom.
