    The concept of “banned words” (other than the offensive stuff, of course) in a classroom is so funny to me. There is no way that the person who came up with that wasn’t the sourest loser ever.

      Plus kids will find a way. Our english teacher didn’t want us to say ‘shit’, but to use ‘sugar’ instead.

      There was a lot of ‘bullsugar’ and similar in that class.

        I’m a school bus driver and we’re supposed to not allow foul language. It’s only a problem on the middle school runs, and it’s not really worth the effort on my part to do anything about it. I’m just happy when I can unload all the kids and nothing has been set on fire.

        Nah few teachers are actually serious about it. My cousin is a school teacher, she takes all these a little too seriously

      I always assumed (hoped) these were put up as jokes by the teachers. “Dang it Jeremy that’s another one for the board!” type of banter.
