  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 think a good way to solve this problem is to send the student home with a letter explaining to the parent his use of the word "gay" and his parent should have a serious talk with him. If this doesn't work and he continues to call out I would sent him to the office with a referral and schedule a parent conference.

Comments: I think this could cause problems. It is possible the student is hearing this at home, and you might end up having a major disagreement with parents about this if you take this route. I think handling this in the classroom is a better way to manage the situation, rather than taking a route that is punishing the student and possibly causing a problem between you and the parents.

Comments: I don't think parents need to get involved with this because they could be the ones teaching their child hateful things in the first place.
