  Case: Cursing
In my high school internship, I encountered many students cursing while inside of the classroom. 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!)
I would first start, by asking the teacher if there are any rules or if they simply do not wish to implement any. If there are no rules, I would most likely take it upon myself to correct students when speaking out if it made me feel uncomfortable. There may not be any rules in place but you are still the authority figure when it comes to the students and there is no reason you should ever feel any disrespect. If the students do not wish to follow your rules I would then go to administration with the issue and try to make sure there are proper guidelines that every teacher/student is aware of going forward.

Comments: I like this solution because it address the students’ behavior and the teacher’s behavior at once. As an intern, you will have to be placed into new and uncomfortable situations, this being one of them. By addressing the students and taking the “authoritative” role, you will be learning how to better manage a classroom of your own.

Comments: I think this is the best solution because it asks the teacher of their expectations first, then suggests using your own voice and authority in the classroom to curb the behavior and suggests going to the administration if all else fails.

Comments: There is not much you can do as an intern but I would also talk to the teacher and find out why this is acceptable. Some students may not be comfortable with this and it could eventually be a problem with the parents of those students. Learn from this experience and don't follow suit when you become a teacher.

Comments: I agree with this solution. At no point should you definitely feel uncomfortable. The school needs to enforce the importance of respectful language used in the class and school as a whole.

Comments: I like this solution. Correcting the students yourself is a good way to show that you are intolerant of this behavior and it will be apparent to the teacher as well. If the problem continues, going to administration is a good idea.
