Not sure...

I'm not sure what I want to title this post. The other day a fellow teacher came into my room to complain that my students, who were waiting outside the classroom, were cursing up a storm. She said that she was very offended.

Of course she was, have you heard these kids' mouths??

And then she said to the students, (who were giving her their undivided attention) (NOT), "Your parents don't have to go to their jobs and hear this kind of language. If any of your parents were ever addressed the way you address us, or were subjected to the way you all talk to each other, they could file a law suit and win!"

I agreed with this wholeheartedly. It is so very true. These high school kids have such foul mouths that it embarrasses me to hear them. I am shocked and saddened by what they are saying, AND it's the girls too! Sometimes they are worse!

I guess I just want to say that if any parents are out there reading this, please, please talk to your children about their vocabulary choices. You probably have NO idea what they sound like when you are not around, and quite frankly you would probably pass out if you heard it. But if you start a dialogue with them, perhaps one day it will sink it...

Just a thought...
