survey on teachers and swearing .. thankyou! (1 Viewer)

[Navjeet]

* Do teachers say words, sterotypically associated as bad such as "bloody" "hell" and "crap" in class?

1) Do/ have teachers sweared in any of your classes?
Yes

2) If so was it by accident or on purpose (ie. as a casual part of a conversastion)
My geography teacher regularly used the words "bloody", "hell" and "crap" in class, often in the same sentence, but never in a way that offended people. Like we knew he was the last person on earth to take seriously. My ipt teacher said to me "fuck nav, you're so lucky" after he managed to rescue my major work from getting deleted, but it was a one-off kind of thing.

3) What words do teachers commonly use in your classly that arent exactly nice? if so do you think they have the right to use them?
ummm, none that I can remember

4) Would you consider it "normal" for a teacher to say "slut" in class.
The aforementioned geography teacher sometimes used "tart" if you consider that in the same league as "slut", but yeah, he never mentioned specific names.

5) do you think whether or not teachers can swear in class depends on their status ( ie, standard classroom teacher, deputy principal, head teacher)?
Yes, very much so. Head teachers and deputy principles (deputy principles more so than head teachers) command much more respect than a regular classroom teacher, and it would be difficult for students to take them seriously in formal situations when they use swearing language in front of the student.

6) Do you classify "slut" and "crap" as swear words.
( edit: i am focusing on the word slut, now and have an addtionl question. do u think is it acceptable for a teacher to say this word in class?) thanks
Not swear words as such, but "slut" is generally quite a derogatory term, especially in a girls school environment like the one i was in. Crap has just kind of become an everyday word now...i dont think many people see it as offensive anymore.

8) do you think, as teachers teach people in years 11 and 12 they should be allowed to use differemtlanguage and make refernce to things, like sexual things? as in like that was raunchy
As long as it's in a joking/light-hearted manner, its fine. Thats what made a lot of our year 12 classes fun...the double entendre's and sexual innuendo's of classroom conversation.

9) Please comment/ provide you view point/ explain the situation at your school on teachers and swearing and references ( ie sexual) made in class
Students at my school knew the boundaries they could push with individual teachers. We knew which teachers to behave like ladies around, and which ones we could treat as mates. As long as no one crossed these boundaries, we were fine at school in terms of swearing. As for references, once again, it depends on the individual teachers making them. There were some teachers who we felt uncomfortable if they ever tried to make a sexual joke, but then the rest were more like friends than teachers, so it wasnt a problem. As long as no one is hurt by it, i think there is no harm in it happening.

* Do teachers say words, sterotypically associated as bad such as "bloody" "hell" and "crap" in class? yes

1) Do/ have teachers sweared in any of your classes? yes

2) If so was it by accident or on purpose (ie. as a casual part of a conversastion) sometimes by accident, simetimes wen we piss them off, but usually just casually

3) What words do teachers commonly use in your classly that arent exactly nice? if so do you think they have the right to use them? shit, fuck, crap, bullshit, bloody idiot, bastard, shutup etc. im fine with it.. we've already been exposed to it enuff so i dont think its gonna influence us much

4) Would you consider it "normal" for a teacher to say "slut" in class. as in, a teacher saying:i was talking to this girl the other day and she was complaining that everyone was calling her a slut?!? not exactly "normal", but its ok by me

5) do you think whether or not teachers can swear in class depends on their status ( ie, standard classroom teacher, deputy principal, head teacher)? i think it depends on age more than status.. like we joke around heaps with all the young tchrs fresh out of uni even sum older ones we can have a casual convo about the footy n wateva n they dont mind language.. but the older ones are so uptight.

6) Do you classify "slut" and "crap" as swear words slut, yes. crap, no

8) do you think, as teachers teach people in years 11 and 12 they should be allowed to use different language and make refernce to things, like sexual things? as in like that was raunchy only if appropriate, thing is theyve still gotta focus on subject theyre teachin n its gotta b relevant

* Do teachers say words, sterotypically associated as bad such as "bloody" "hell" and "crap" in class? yes

1) Do/ have teachers sweared in any of your classes? yes

2) If so was it by accident or on purpose (ie. as a casual part of a conversastion) Mostly just accident and infiltration of normal conversation.

3) What words do teachers commonly use in your classly that arent exactly nice? if so do you think they have the right to use them? fuck, fuckfuckfuckityfuck, shit, crap, bullshit, bloody idiot, bastard, shutup, bitch... Yes, they have a right, as long as it isn't directly offensive to others such as telling someone to fuck off.

4) Would you consider it "normal" for a teacher to say "slut" in class. as in, a teacher saying:i was talking to this girl the other day and she was complaining that everyone was calling her a slut?!? Thats not exactly normal, but if it's relevant, then by all means it's normal.

5) do you think whether or not teachers can swear in class depends on their status ( ie, standard classroom teacher, deputy principal, head teacher)? Not their status, it all comes down to what the individual and the relationship with them is like.

6) Do you classify "slut" and "crap" as swear words. No

8) do you think, as teachers teach people in years 11 and 12 they should be allowed to use different language and make refernce to things, like sexual things? If it's relevant and appropriate then it's fine.

8) Please comment/ provide you view point/ explain the situation at your school on teachers and swearing and references ( ie sexual) made in class
i dont think they should swear in class.. if it's avoidable.. if not.. well that's their problem.. and they can lose their jobs.. or get suspended from it for a time.. i know.. because it's happened to one of my teachers in primary school.. but then again, i guess the pupils were of a different maturity age group..

Not all teachers swear. The older ones are more uptight. It’s the younger teachers that do the swearing and that’s fine by me. I don’t think swearing is acceptable at my skool, but teachers do it anyway. It dosent bother me.

[s0k0y0e0]

Do teachers say words, sterotypically associated as bad such as "bloody" "hell" and "crap" in class?

1) Yes! teachers have sweared in my classes before, not at a student though!

2) It was as a casual part of a conversastion

3) Can't remember! If any of my teachers say anything that is 'wrong' though, I have a go at them! One thing (not that it's 'wrong, but bloddy annoying) is there is a teacher at my school and he is obsessed with saying 'get over it!'. Arghhh it's so annoying!

4) I would definately not consider it "normal" for a teacher to say "slut" in class.


5) I think that anyone hasa right to swear, but it kinda depends in what circumstance they are using it.
A teacher might for instance get really angry or hurt themself and say for example shit, then, that is no problem (I think it has nothing to do with status, every1 has that right!-it's normal), but i don't agree with teachers or anyone for that matter swearing at another person, in an abusing manner!

6) I don't classify 'crap' as a swear word. Not sure about "slut", but i am very much against this word, it is so degrading, no matter what way it is used! Even for someone who is a prostitute, I do not think that people should speak about them like this!

I think that it depends on what the teacher may be talking about in class to say whether or not they should use this word (eg, if they are telling you some1 said it, thenm fine, but if they are calling some1 that, it is wrong!)

8)I think that teachers should treat older people as if they are older people. We are more mature and can handle being spoken to about issues such as sex and other things in that area. Although, I dod not think that we should be spoken to like we are their partner, saying things such as; that's really sexy..blah blah, it's a bit wrong, and leaves it so open to problems with teacher/student relationships!

9) If a teacher swears at my school it has NEVER been in an inappropriate way, it has only been like them speaking to us in conversation and saying, 'yeah that gives me the shits', or stuff like that, friendly(if you can explain it that way) speaking!
I think this is fine, becasue it makes the students feel like the teacher is on their level! Which is great!

But no swearing AT teachers, or teachers swearing AT sctudents, that's pathetic!

1. yes

2. usually on purpose

3. hmm, usually just swears when shes pissed off at someone, like the head of the department or politicians.

4. teachers can say what they like if it doesnt get to the people it refers to

5. head teachers and higher usually restrict their language with a few exceptions

6. ahh nope, unless the teacher tells a chick shes a slut. teachers have every right to label your work as 'crap'

8. teachers should be able to relax their language as students get older because its a question of relating to students as friends rather than ordering juniors around.

9. the teachers usually swear when they are pissed off at others and need to blow some steam off, and who better to do that than to a senior class who wont the person getting abused? an english teacher at my school bags the crap out of the head teacher for being a fat, lazy bastard who is too fat to get to class on time and too fat to go on excursions etc. you draw the line at teachers using abusive language to abuse students.
