Swearing in School

[Doon frae Troon]

The Headteacher told me my grandson was a bit upset today.
He had used a bad word and was absolutely mortified when the teacher told him off.
Not like him I said.
Teacher explained the circumstances and said he had used the D word.
Not often we hear that she said.

Good on ya boy swearing in an upper class manner!
I didn't even think it was classified as a swear word these days!

Teacher explained the circumstances and said he had used the D word.

It's probably obvious and as soon as it's said It'll be a facepalm but I'm struggling? opposite of the C word?

no, im with you cookelad.. I dont get it.. sorry.

The D word are they having a laugh, have they not heard the foul language used by school children either in the playground or on the bus home. The D word is poetry at the side of that. Had it have been the F,B,C,T, or one of the many others then yes they would have a case but surely a quiet word to the wise would have been the correct course of action without the fuss.

Grandsons school adopts a zero tolerance policy... So assume this will be the case elsewhere... Same goes for 'contact' even its retaliatory...

Perhaps its the shortened version of Richard?

Perhaps its the shortened version of Richard?

That's about as near to a swear word as I could come up with "opposite of C word?"

diaphragm? :thup:

 

[CMAC]

surely it cant be the slang name for Richard ie Dick as in Dick Van Dyke

what age is the wee fella?

It does depend in what context it was used however as any word can be quite malicious if used correctly

Your having a laff Doon surely. Swearing ??
Give me strength !!

 

[Doon frae Troon]

He's six.
Could be worse, he could have said dash [is that allowed mods?]

Diaphragm........thats funny!

It's a very good school and I think the teachers found it quite funny.
Seemingly another boy destroyed his 'artwork'.

 

[splashtryagain]

Good on the teacher, need to keep standards up!

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

Yeah, naughty little child for not using the widely acceptable "golly gosh". WE DON'T LIVE IN THE 19TH CENTURY

My daughter is at a fairly strict catholic school and if they call me to say that she had used the word dam then I'd tell them how stupid they were for wasting my time and money. There are more important things to worry about in school time like praising kids for doing well or helping those that are struggling in class.

language that we would class as inappropriate fair enough but a word which I can only describe as "when the child realised something was wrong", ludicrous

I should hope they did.
I hope that other little inhabitant of a small Orkadian village got whats what.
Art critics! can't stand um :thup:

The teachers are great, I think they only told me as he was upset for being told off [which upset the teachers]
