Case: The Newcomer
Ivan came to my 5th grade classroom two weeks ago. He moved to the United States with his parents about a month ago from Russia. Both of his parents are graduate students at the local university. Ivan speaks no English at all. There are no other Russian speakers in our school, so I cannot use a translator when I try to communicate with Ivan. So, I decided that I would give him time learn some English through everyday interactions with me and his classmates. Two days ago I heard Ivan using the "F-word" repeatedly on the playground and in the classroom. I do not exactly know how he learned the word but my guess is that one of his classmates taught it to him as a joke. I have to address this problem. I have to find a way to explain to Ivan that this word is not acceptable. I also have to find out who taught this to him. I cannot allow these types behaviors in the classroom. I am not sure if I should involve the parents. I need to do something, but what?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since Ivan know no English you're going to have to talk to his parents to get them to help you let him know it's not acceptable to say that word. Since you think the kids in your class taught him that word, you will also need to address the issue with them and let them know that it won't be tolerated. |

| Comments: Communication is key, and I think this would be helpful! Letting the parents know that you will address the issue in class will let them be at ease. |
