I'm afraid I don't quite understand. You're "not sure teachers are allowed to either"? To do what? Do you mean "lose their cool"? Are you suggesting that teachers should accept inappropriate language? How is it "losing cool" to fill out a form that reports inappropriate behavior? I remind you that inappropriate behavior must be reported. I remind you that the teacher reporting (at least in my Texas school district) has no say in what consequences are dispensed. Principals and judges (if there's a citation) do that.
[Just so you know-- my kids rarely use profanity. I, personally, have never written a referral for profanity. Obscenity is far more common. ]
I think you are doing your job. I just question the wisdom in making profanity a criminal justice issue.
I personally think a paddle to the backside is in order for cursing at a teacher.
That’s because the issue is respect, which is something kids need to learn.
If they don’t learn it there is a justice system waiting for them when they do something serious down the road.
