That is the standard that I am referring to.

I am not a teacher. So to talk about what teachers are taught is not my job. Also I am sure teachers in different areas learn to adjust if they work in different types of schools. I know that an inner-city area is treated a little different than an affluent suburb where everyone in the parking lot has a high-end car. There are also standards that are different from a private Catholic school as compared to a public school in the same area. Did you see the Charlie Weis piece on 60 Minutes a few weeks ago?

I bet if I used a few slang words you might not have any idea what they mean. The only reason you would not say they were obscene or profane is because you would not know what they were.
BTW, the coach I was talking about has used profanity before in games I have officiated. I do not recall that he was ever suspended for those words, but he was suspended for his comments that were seen very insensitive to those victims of the Holocaust.
