This toddler was shown the door for the one time she swore
They won’t have any kids left if they enforce this strictly. All kids like to try out these words.
A Texas mom thinks its bull and isn’t quite sure how little Arianna heard it in the first place.
"Ah sh@%!"
"That's a bad word!"
"Okay"
(back turned) (Snickers).
" ... and worried she might say it again."
The unnatural fear of fear.
Americans USED to be called ugly 'cause we weren't skeered o' NUTHIN'
But then somehow ... we got skeered
pussies
The center is privately owned and can enforce this rule if they want but I have to wonder why this rule is so strict. They must have experience with out of control children and have decided to their only recourse is to have a zero tolerance policy. Sad that it has come to this.
The Dept of Just Us will take care of this.
So, every time I'd get mad, I'd say "DAD GUMMIT!! or some other epithet like that. To this day, my kids (two of whom are adults now) don't cuss (even though they now know the words).
Then there's some softer words like...poopy...cow pile....
No sense trying to teach the kid right from wrong just get rid of them. Zero tolerance is bad policy.
When I was a kid, we used to get three strikes before you were out...
BTW, my grandmother was Irish and let me tell you that woman could make a sailor blush. I couldn’t choose the clan I was born into but I did make the right choices for me. Let me assure you, despite grandma’s colourful vocabulary, no one ever took GOD’s name in vain.
I’m old and cranky and have to be careful around the grandkids about which words/phrases, intonation and level of speech, and physical gesters I might use in stressful (mine, not their) situations. I do try, but sometimes like most human beings, I slip in a new word or two. :)
This is part of black culture. The school is definitely racist.
Shit is a crude word, not a curse.
Seriously, the day care workers are so pathetic that they cannot instill even the slightest bit of discipline in a three year old?
Well, hopefully it won’t go on her “permanent record”, as that might prevent her from getting into a better university... (That would have used to be sarcasm, but today there are so many fruitcakes, you can’t tell.)
Suspend, fine.
Ban, no. Not unless this was the excuse for expelling a child with deeper problems.
If their reasoning is that they are a faith-based day care, they lost a ministry opportunity instead of gaining a potential convert. Correct the child rather than ban the child.
She had just finished mixing up a batch of red Kool Aid for the girls and the glass pitcher slipped from her hand, hit the floor and exploded into a red cloud of glass shards and red sugar water, everywhere. Apparently it was exactly the same as the scene near the ending of the movie Uncle Buck.
As far as my very, very religious dearly departed Gram is concerned... she is probably burning in Hell for saying that one word.
Bull sh..t seems to be my favorite word, just a habit that is hard to break.
I do not like vulgar talk because most of it is done purposely by some one wanting to show every one how tough or mean they are, to hide the truth that they are nothing but lily flowers.
However there are many people who would not say sh..t if they had a mouth full, they would just spit it out and point at it.
Both extremes are the sh..ts.

What a bunch of bulls%*-
Mine repeated two f-bombs at age 3. Heard it on the public playground from older children when he was there at the tot lot with a supervised group from nursery school.
You know what I have zero tolerance for? This zero tolerance carp we subject our children to. We take children in school who are supposed to be cared for, nurtured and taught not only book knowledge but how the world works and they make a mistake and it's zero tolerance! Alpha Mike Foxtrot! Then they look at adult politician's and wonder WTF, why are the rules different.
