  Case: Bad Language
I have a student who is repeatedly using bad language in class. I have written home notes-no response-taken away points and isolated him from other students. I have tried talking to him privately when this happens, but he continues. How can I handle this problem in my classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Unfortunately it sounds like the student could just be modeling language used at home if the parents have not responded to the notes home. I would suggest getting administration involved, then they can look into if their is some issues at home. I would suggest to his classmates to ignore him when he uses bad language since many times kids only use those words for reactions. If the students stop reacting to his behavior, he may stop.
