Times New RomanHi, I teach 7th grade and hear "shut up" alot. I tell students that saying shut up shows a lack of vocabulary. I recently heard one student telling that to another who had just said shut up, so I guess it's working! -Alix Peshette ArialDate sent: Sun, 20 May 2001 12:28:41 -0400 (EDT) From: DHJones3@aol.com Subject: Re: My students could be more thankful....

I told one boy that he was only in the 5th grade and he shouldn't be talking  like a dirty old adults and he said "are you calling my parents dirty old  adults?" I said "yes" if they use that kind of words in front of you. I  just knew I would get a call but I didn't. --- 4069N@lists.getty.edu ---
