  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 explain that although it happens in the school and teachers sometimes even cuss, that it is not acceptable in your classroom as your classroom is an academic environment. Unless being read in literature, these words are not allowed and will have serious consequences. Explain to students this is your rule on the first day of class, and abide by it throughout the semester, disciplining as necessary.
