This is a ‘current’ habit he got from school, but I don’t find it ‘cool’ :/”

As a teacher, I neither use nor accept the use of the words or gestures. It’s not acceptable towards me as the adult nor peers. There’s a concept called decency that is undervalued in today’s culture. Especially with younger folk. I attribute the erosion of decency to an absence of decency in the home coupled with hours upon hours of reinforcement of negative behavior on television.

It only takes a few weeks for me to get the children on board. However, I have multiple parents complaining monthly about their little darlings being punished for being indecent.
