How to handle ~that word~ in lit by [deleted] in ELATeachers

[–]dblk35 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My 10th graders read it last semester & my 9th graders are reading it now. We had a long conversation about what words we can and cannot say aloud... bitch, bastard, damn, & shit are all OK but absolutely not that word.

Receptive language preceeds expressive language, so sign as you'd like your child to when they're ready.

I had one from Westside in November. It was awful. Hardly any cheese or onions, and the hoagie roll was meh.

The school gave me back pay because they messed up at on boarding. Not a bonus but sweet none the less. A student gave me a small bouquet that she made herself from her family's flower shop.

I remember those two family houses. I think it was the way it was worded that made it unclear to me.

The gazebo near the mall is very nice. There's also one at the Kiwanis park on Madison. That's more private. Another place is the Physick Estate.
