Why can't a teacher yell "*********!" ? I'm still a student (adult university) and even my teacher uses the F-word if someone in class is really giving the dumbest answers.
I'm pretty sure that students/kids pick up the street-talk or slang everywhere; a teacher can't help that preventing even if he's giving the best example. A school should have a no-slang policy, however taking action against the teacher who doesn't follow that policy is one step to far (i.m.h.o.).
On my field(s) I don't want to hear any cursing but I'm also taking no action against a player who just got a 3K and fires
one F-word in frustration. It's a first reaction. If the same player continues cursing after a few seconds, it's no-longer a first reaction and I will take action. A player/coach coming down from 1st base yelling about a play on home plate can walk-on (off the field). He got plenty time to think about what he is yelling and what he and I could see (or not see).
