  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 start first by speaking with the teacher. It would be hard to reprimand the students for cursing when their teacher participates and allows the language. A classroom is a place for learning and respect. I think creating a level of respect between the teacher and the students and you would help create a better classroom environment that doesn't use profanity.

Comments: I would definitely agree that speaking to the teacher first is required, since their classroom may be a little more on the "friendly" side as I have previously had teachers who would do the "excuse my french" before they let one go. Profanity definitely doesn't help the classroom become more respectful, but at the same time I think it does make the students feel a little more comfortable in some instances. You may not need to address is in a way of shutting them down, but maybe something like "alright guys, lets settle down" may give them the hint they need.

Comments: I like this solution best because it provides a backing for why you might feel uncomfortable with the cursing, other than just going to the admins to complain about the issue.

Comments: I agree with talking to the teacher first. Establishing respect in the classroom between the teacher and student can be complicated if they are allowed to cuss especially at you.
