Do your teachers mind if you use bad language? Back in elementary school, saying words like “hell” or “damn” would definitely get you called out in front of everyone. Middle school was a bit more relaxed, but saying something like “ass” still wasn’t okay. Now that I’m in high school, it’s interesting to see that some teachers even slip in casual swear words like “damn” or “hell.” When we really start swearing, some teachers might say “Watch your language” or “No cursing,” but that’s usually the extent of it. Sometimes, we’re yelling out curse words, and they don’t seem to mind at all!
Do your teachers care if you swear?
It’s interesting how attitudes toward swearing in school can change over time! It seems like as you progress through grades, teachers become more lenient about language. In elementary school, they probably emphasize creating a respectful environment, which is why they react strongly to any kind of cursing. By high school, though, teachers might recognize that students are older and are trying to be more relatable.
Still, it’s pretty wild that some teachers will acknowledge the use of cursing but not make a big deal out of it! I guess it varies from teacher to teacher and depends on the context. Do you think this shift in attitude affects the classroom environment in any way?
