UK Schools Get Tough: No More Than Five Uses Of The F-Word To Your Teacher Per Lesson!

They've gone off their trolleys:

A secondary school is to allow pupils to swear at teachers - as long as they don't do so more than five times in a lesson. A running tally of how many times the f-word has been used will be kept on the board. If a class goes over the limit, they will be 'spoken' to at the end of the lesson.

The astonishing policy, which the school says will improve the behaviour of pupils, was condemned by parents' groups and MPs yesterday. They warned it would backfire.

...

"Within each lesson the teacher will initially tolerate (although not condone) the use of the f-word (or derivatives) five times and these will be tallied on the board so all students can see the running score," he wrote in the letter

"Over this number the class will be spoken to by the teacher at the end of the lesson."

Parents called the rule 'wholly irresponsible and ludicrous'.

"This appears to be a misguided attempt to speak to kids on their own level," said the father of one pupil.

Well, actually, no it's not. The teachers apparently don't get to curse back at the students.

Oscar Wilde noted, devilishly, that the best way to avoid temptation is to succumb to it.

But there really are people who think like that. For them, the best way to avoid bad behavior is to simply redefine it as not-bad behavior. Problem solved!

The race will be on to see which class gets to 5
'f-words' (or derivitives) first...
Kids love to be 'challenged' in the learning process...

Are these the same education officials that wanted to ban that other "f" word.... Fail?

Well said!!

The West is moving more and more towards a culture that does not allow any moral judgements whatsoever on bad behavior. Go Liberalism!!

They don't need "tolerance" like this - they need P.A.I.N.

P.A.I.N. proven effective since the beginning of recorded history.

I'm from another era. In third grade, during lunch recess, a boy wrote on my class blackboard, "That darn Mrs. __ ," which made me giggle like hell. Unfortunately, we forgot to erase it.

I denied I did it and wouldn't give him up. My story was, "I dunno" and I was sticking to it. The principal was called and I was put under a hot lamp. I tell you, it was hell! Nothing happened, but I wish it had, because the fear they instilled in me was worse than any punishment.

Man, and we're not even allowed to use the word here!

Maybe AoSHQ can institute the same rule: five uses of the F-word per thread. Either five lucky commenters get to spice up their prose, or one person can post "f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ckety-f*ck," after which no one else can drop the f-bomb.

Sounds sensible to me. I mean, this was recommended by accredited teachers, right? And if we can't rely on teachers to show good judgment and common sense, then we're in serious trouble.

I blogged about it here - tried to quote some in my comment, but the filter didn't like the content for some reason: http://www.kimberlyswygert.com/archives/003185.html

Are you kidding? Fuck you, Carin.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
