You can use the f-word in class
(but only five times)

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.
Parents were advised of the plan, which comes into
effect when term starts next week, in a letter
from the Weavers School in Wellingborough,
Northamptonshire.
Assistant headmaster Richard White
said the policy was aimed at 15 and 16-year-olds
in two classes which are considered troublesome.
'Tolerate but not condone'
"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."
[Ed. Oh no, not a 'speaking to!' can't do that,
you will hurt his self-esteem and violate his human
rights! He will end up taking possession of your home
via his EU funded dream team of high priced barristers...]
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.
Should have do's and don'ts
Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real
Education, said: "In these sort of situations
teachers should be setting clear principles of 'do
and don't'.
"They should not be compromising in an apparent
attempt to please the pupils. This will send out
completely the wrong message.
"Youngsters will play up to this and ensure they
use their five goes, demeaning the authority of
the teacher."
Tory MP Ann Widdecombe said the policy was based
on 'Alice in Wonderland reasoning'.
[Ed. A.K.A "Lefty Logic"...]
"What next?" she asked. "Do we allow people to
speed five times or burgle five times? You don't
improve something by allowing it, you improve
something by discouraging it."
'Praise postcards'
The 1,130-pupil school, which was criticised as
'not effective' by Ofsted inspectors last
November, also plans to send 'praise postcards' to
the parents of children who do not swear and who
turn up on time for lessons.
Headmaster Alan Large said he had received no
complaints about the policy. "The reality is that
the fword is part of these young adults' everyday
language," he said.
[Ed. What is this claptrap about "young adults"?
You aren't an adult until you reach majority.
It sounds like more typical Marxist crapola,
where the children are treated like adults, and the
adults are treated like Children...]
"As a temporary policy we are giving them a bit of
leeway, but want them to think about the way they
talk and how they might do better."
[Ed. Up to a standard, not down to a price, headmaster...]
