Sometimes, even the teachers would curse. I do not believe that there is a classroom rule about this issue, and the teachers do not seem to correct students when they speak inappropriately. How should I address their language? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Cursing sometimes just happens however you can deduct points.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I don't think it will solve problem Rated On: March 6, 2017 2:26 am Rated By: uhuQyM                 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: This is wrong.

Students need to know WHY their actions are inappropriate, you can’t just deduct points. Students need to be treated like adults; so sit down and talk with them about their actions.

It should not just be brushed off Rated On: October 4, 2017 2:35 am Rated By: SyHaBe                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: In this situation, it would not be fair to deduct points from the student when the teacher is cursing as well. It's a double standard that students at the high school age will recognize.

This would be a worst-case scenario if it really gets out of control, but not something to be instigated immediately.

What would the points be deducted from?

There need to be rules in place.

There needs to be a solution that resonates with the students.

The students need a more serious consequence for the teacher to resolve the problem.

Students will expect it and still try to get away with it even if there are consequences.

Sometimes you may slip a word out but you should not be cussing on a daily in front of your students. You also should not deduct points from their grade for cussing. Maybe try enforcing a consequence instead. Rated On: April 1, 2022 12:12 am Rated By: eSysyv
