Now, I don't know what subject this teacher teaches. I don't know if she teaches English or some other subject where this would certainly contradict what she is teaching. But I think it's great. I commend her for putting her foot down and for saying, no, not in my classroom. And so thank you so much for listening. We have to support our teachers in the classroom, whether it's private school, charter schools, public schools, even in the home school
Do what you do, have fun, be playful, be jokey, whatever. But when it comes to the classroom and being respectful and being respectful to our adults, we absolutely need to do that. And if the kids aren't doing it, then I don't know what is happening at home. But however, the teacher absolutely has the right to set a standard in her classroom, and then maybe that student will pick up on that and then carry that on outside of the classroom

I know I'm showing my age. Or we would be like, yeah, it's cool. It's whatever. But, yeah, I hate that she even has to deal with stuff like that. But that's today's youth, right? They have a language of their own. I mean, texting became a language of its own. My daughter and then would use abbreviations. I don't know what that means. Just say what you're going to say

Hey, Tanya, I'm gonna keep it real simple. Her classroom, her rules. I mean, can't get mad at that. Her classroom, her rules. And if the students do not follow those rules, they already know what their comeuppance will be because she outlined it so me, I can't get upset with that
I mean, she wouldn't whack anybody, but she'd take that yardstick and she'd whack it on your desk if you were misbehaving and even mean, you couldn't get away with that. Right? But it was a different era. It was a different generation, but it commanded respect. Okay. And I think that I know in speaking with a lot of teachers that I know who teach in high school, junior high, those are challenging years

But, yeah, I totally get her wanting to set a standard for her classroom, and what she's asking is not over the top. It's not unrealistic or it's not. I mean, she's just asking you not to use slang. That means that we should have a vocabulary that's evolved enough to where if we never use any of these words on this list, we can still communicate, articulate our ideas without having to fall back on this list of slang. So I love it

She's sick of hearing all this nonsense, all this ratchet vocabulary they got going on. She's tired of hearing it. So, yeah, I don't blame her for saying enough is enough. We're not going to be using this in my classroom. And like I was telling Kat, it forces all of us should have any vocabulary that's evolved enough to where we don't have to rely on slang in order to communicate our ideas

Hey, Bruno, I agree with you 100%. Teachers commanded respect in the classroom. And even when I was in school in the 90s, we respected our teachers. When the bell rang, class was in session, there was no time for foolery. Of course, foolery would happen because kids are kids, but there was no time for foolery. And the way we spoke to our teachers and the way we addressed our teachers was from place of us respecting them as the authority figure in the classroom
