  Case: The Swearer
J.M is a swearer. The student uses profanity continually. Uses it anyplace anytime and in the presence of anyone. The student swears intentionally, or may not even be aware that he/she is swearing. The student even declare that there is nothing wrong with swearing.
How do you deal with a student like J.M.?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have had success with this in the past by building the students up so that he or she feels a responsibility to monitor their language at school. For example, if a student shows leadership skills, you might tell the student, "You are a real leader in the classroom, so I need you to be a great role model for your peers." Also, when a student hasn't used the inappropriate language for a time period, brag on the student for the good choices he or she is making. Even if the time is brief, try to praise the good choices as often as possible.

Comments: Students who tend to swear many times are looking for attention. So, if the teacher is providing them with praise for making good choices (that did not involve swearing) then maybe they will realize that they can get attention for more their positive actions.

Comments: I agree with your idea that the student should be responsible of monitoring their own language. I find that to be a much more effective solution than constantly telling the student to watch their language. If the student is responsible for themselves, there will be a positive change across the board.

Comments: This would be a good way to handle the situation, giving your student the responsibility of being a role model and making sure they know the meaning of that term would hopefully help guide them in the right direction.
