Mr. Jones has requested the students find an alternative word but they continue to use it. How can he convince students to not use this word in negative contexts only? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would first explain to the students what the word “gay” actually means as the students are using the word out of context. Next, I would tell my students to use a descriptive vocabulary word like “unfortunate”, “dreadful”, or “”awful” when describing something negative.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Providing alternate vocabulary to use in place of the word is a very helpful solution!
