I note that you did not respond to the meat of my comments-- because you would have to acknowledge your ignorance.
In the furtherance of correcting your ignorance, you should know that there are no teachers unions in Texas. Are there any other "misconceptions" that I need to correct for you?
Hauling a child before a judge where the judge can impose a $637.00 fine for using some offhanded word is ludicrous. It's not a CRIMINAL act to swear, but applying an outrageous fine to a child, makes it one and sends a very wrong, convoluted signal!
Punish the child alright in an appropriate manner. Here's a novel idea, teach the children manners!
