The Dud
Actually, students had more of an "unresponse" than anything else to the suggestion that I use the "f" word in class. I think they are so used to it that it doesn't make the impression it once did. I tried to encourage someone to say he/she would be offended but there were no takers. I can tell you, however, that as a young teacher in 1967 I would have lost my job and been ridden out of town on a rail accompanied only by my team teaching mates and some enlightened students who still keep in touch with me. My, my how the passing of time changes things.

So true! Thanks for "...the rest of the story." I promise I'll stop asking questions so you can put this baby to bed. :)

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have been there...I'd have been back in the office sneaking cigarettes out of your desk and eating your lunch.
