School gives pupils f-word limit

Posted by Deb on Wednesday August 31, 2005 at 3:48 pm

Pupils at a Northamptonshire school are to be allowed to swear in class - but only a bit:

“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.”

And what happens after they get to five?

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

I bet they’re f***ing terrified!

Quite brilliant *rolls eyes* Mind you, while they try to beat each others tallies, they might learn some maths :))

Well since it’s a secondary school, I’m hoping they already know their “number bonds” to five…LOL

You really couldn’t make it up, could you? So much for school preparing kids for “real life”!
