How can parents teach(use) foul language to their children??? I am a sub for my childrens school district.I was subbing in the special resources and this child in 4th grade went off on a teacher. I mean used every cuss word you could think of! I had to tell my boss I do not think I can go back because of it. The innocent children in there that we had to get out of the class room because this child got violent. I understand he may have some disability etc but really how much can that be blamed on the disease if he has it. He threw a toy and not some small toy but a big one at her, he went to bite her leg and everything else!!
I am guilty of cussing here and there but I change my words when my kids are around. I use words like fudgeiscles, son of a biscuit etc etc. I hate using anything foul around my kids. I can only imagine what parents are going to say if the other children go home and repeat what they heard in class. what do you think?

I think a lot of parents really do not realize how much children pick up from them. I use foul language in front of my daughter but she knows the difference and does not use those terms. Some parents also just dont care. They feel that there is no harm in their children saying these things. However, with the child behaving very violently too it really makes you wonder what is going on in the house. I bet if investigated there is a lot more than just cussing going on.

You are probably right on that. He started out just making out lies. LIke such and such is bothering me but that person was on the other side of the class with the other teacher. Just really makes you think what this child is seeing at home to do what he did.

I agree completely! I think parents should pay more attention to what they say in front of their children and also to what other people say in front of them. These can pose bad examples to children and think that it is ok for them to use the same kind of language in a given situation. The parents, most definitely, should be held responsible for their own and their children's actions in this particular instance.

I do swear on occassion, but I do not in front of my daughter who is 4. I will never foget last year I was walking into the living room and didn't push the folded up treadmill back far enough. I stubbed my toe and said s**t. The last I knew I just left my daughter playing in her room. She followed me out and I didn't realize, but heard me and kept repeating it.
So, we worked on the Mommy said a bad word and shouldn't have. She stopped and I am 100% more careful now. That is the only swear word she learned and to this day if she hears someone say it, she says "don't you meen shoot?"
