Oh no someone used a naughty word that’s it the end of the world is coming.
This was bound to happen years of no discipline from both parents and teachers. Resulting is absolute no respect for anything. Combined with many parents believing it’s the governments responsibility to raise their children and teach them the basics of life.
I’m not in favour of rigid military discipline in modern schools but I’m out here in Asia teaching, going on more than a decade and kids swearing at a teacher is almost unthinkable here. Parents are also (generally speaking) incredibly supportive and messages to the home are taken seriously and acted upon. I know we don’t like to hear or think about it but there’s good reason why Asia is overtaking Europe in education these decades, both in quantity and quality.
Swearing is so common, in London especially, no one ever moderates their language around kids, or even acknowledges that they let one slip.
I sometimes let it slip myself. It’s difficult.
It’s gotta be especially confusing when you get told of for saying a word then hear it 10 times later that day.
I like using the word ‘flipping’ and instead of shit… ‘biscuits!’
No policing of vape products. Even 13 years ago there was a threat of a police officer catching you smoking or buying tobacco. Now they all sell vapes to each other by buying off the Internet. Difficult to police when there’s no presence. As for swearing I couldn’t care, just words.
How can we chastise children for using normal, everyday language? Regardless of how disrespectful it may be, it’s part of society. Do we want to change society? Would that be possible, preferable? We have a society that struggles with the concept of respect. Ego reigns supreme. Those who aren’t ruled by ego are rare and precious.
Fucking pansies, should be on 20 marlboro reds a day at that age.
Its almost as if locking kids down with shitty parents 24/7 makes them even more shitty than they were before
Where are all those behavioural scientists like Susan Michie that were all over the news calling for lockdowns now?
If the posh snobs want people to talk proper and learn etiquette, they’ll have to pay for it properly. People are being batch raised into slavery, with escape held out of their reach. Young people are making their own cultural cocoons around themselves to try and get through these unnecessarily hard times. The more you try to stop them making mistakes (even in a well meaning way, which it often isn’t) the more they’ll do what they want anyway, because this place is in an uninspiral.
