  Case: Strong Words
On Wednesdays, while your students are at PE, your team meets. The team plans for the next week. However, several of your team members use strong language, which you find inappropriate. You are worried a student or administrator will walk in and hear the language. What should you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Personally I do not feel any offense at "strong language." What I dislike is language which is meant to tear down other people. It is the intent behind the speech and not the words chosen which are of utmost importance. If this is a meeting of adults only, we should not need a babysitter.

Comments: I happen to agree with you. I think that it may be wise to warn them that they could get in trouble if hear by an administrator. However, I have volunteered in school setting and have heard teachers vent to each other when students are not present. I believe as long as it is said in the right place and time it is acceptable to be adults around other adults.
