  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!)
This is something I would address with the teacher first as to why they swear with the students as well as allowing it in their classroom. It seems like to me that if the teacher is swearing, this opens the door for students to swear also. However, I believe as they reach adulthood, if they are not swearing AT you and it is not getting in the way of learning, it might be something to let go of. Often times, we make a big deal of an issue and lose our students in other ways. You have to ask if it is worth it.

Comments: I agree that you should first talk to the teachers about it especially since they are doing it as well. The students aren't going to stop if the teachers don't. I also agree that as long as they aren't cursing directly at you or disrespecting anyone else it isn't the worst thing that could be going on.
