    It says words, not phrases. So you’re not allowed to use “I,” “use,” “by,” “the,” “way,” or “and.”

    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.

      Try teaching middle school. You’ll understand. That being said, teachers mostly do this as a joke.

      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.
