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!) First, I would ask the teacher about the school climate and if this language is accepted throughout the entire school. I would ask what rules are in place about cursing. If there was ever things said (curse words) in my presence that were offensive, I would for sure take the opportunity to be honest with the student in how the language made me feel and hw others may interpret it. I would offer a solution to the student and an explanation of why it would be more wise and affective to use different language. I would stay calm and assertive in that I do not want to be made feeling this way again by the student and their language and I will ask they do not do it again. I will not threaten them with punishment. If the behavior does not change I will go forward with having the student punished in whatever way seems fit in the situation and time. |
