Is it illegal for teachers to swear in the classroom?

What State?  I'll try to find more.\nThis is what I found so far.\n\nSanctioning Teachers for Inappropriate Classroom Speech: A Case Note from Montana \nJournal Journal of Personnel Evaluation in Education

I believe they should be completely banned.\n\nBut sadly in some cases, they are not.\n\nThis is because of those teachers who do not know how to control their students except by violent methods.

No, not against "profanity."  You can say whatever you want.  However, there are a collection of laws and rules that tell you when, where, how loud, and in what company you can say it.  If you are on live TV, there are different rules.  If you are in a kindergarten, other laws may apply.  If you are screaming in public, other laws may apply.\n\nAdditionally, if the "profanity" becomes "obscenity" it can be subject to legislation.  And good luck finding out what "obscenity" is (basically:  lacking in artistic, scientific, political, or other value).

This is a very good question. Every time I walk through my child's school, there are a couple teachers that I just want to slap. As for the comment made by, DID I GET ADOPTED, Teachers are suppose to set an example. I have know doubt that there are days and kids that can try their nerves, but this is a part of life, and teaching your classroom how to act and behave badly is just plain wrong! No matter what job you have I have always believed that if the heat is too hot in the kitchen, get out!!!

lol yes... I'm a kindergarten teacher, and it happend to me in the middle of a lesson.  The kids were snickering and whispering to each other "Miss K farted."  I was so embarrased, and I acted like it didn't happen.  Just told them to stop talking or I'd change their cards to yellow.  I resumed w/ the lesson.  I tried hard to clench up and hold it in, but it didn't work. lol

I do.  At my old school your parents had to sign a consent form and if your parents said it was okay then the teachers could paddle you with a witness present.  When I was in 6th grade I told some kid where to stick, in other terms (cursing) and for that I was paddled.  I deserved it and so do most of today's kids.  Ya know what?  When angry now I don't curse at people.  It taught me a lesson.

As a teacher, I think a brief apology for an unstifled belch is fine. Really, keep your mouth closed and you should be fine.\nFarts, however, do not exist in polite society and are therefore best ignored. Don't claim it, don't blame someone else, just continue on as if nothing had happened.

That would be considered assault in my daughters school.\n\nCoach

No -- in general there is a First Amendment right to free speech even about illegal activities.  You should not cross the line into conspiracing to break the law -- which just talking about it or reviewing wouldn't do -- nor should you encourage nor induce people to break the law.  That is a fine line, and some such activity will be protected as free speech.\n\nIn general it is not illegal to possess or buy a cd or dvd made in violation of copyright -- but it is to make another copy or distribute it.  You should know, though, that when you download you are making a copy, and so downloading a cd you do not have the rights to is a copyright violation in a way that simply purchasing a hard copy would not be.

well, if you're a staff/faculty member, then you might, but it was at home, so it's really nobody's business.\nBesides that, maybe you should have considered the consequences before you went around acting like an as*hole, ya think?

I think it depends on what age they are.  If they aren't pretty well grown and feel the teacher is wrong, they should hold their tongue, tell their parent, and let the parent do the yelling.

If you mean "allowed", I would say "NO".  Don't do it.  Note the date, time, witnesses, then report it to the police, the principal, and your parents.

sorry but I'm on the teacher's side. It's her job to see that you get an education. When you're older and filling out an application for a job do you really want alot of misspelled words on it? Education is one of the most important things in life. She's not "a witch" she's just doing her job.

No there is not, tell them to stop or else, what they are doing is called harassment and they could get in some serious trouble for it, they can even get into juvy, if it doesn't stop tell a teacher

As long as it isn't physical and doesn't degrade the person being ragged, it is a good way of breaking the ice. But since not all students know their limits, ragging should be banned and punished.

You might need to be more specific in your question, but I'll answer what I think.  I think kids are generally unrully in the classroom because they think that they can get away with it.  There is not a lot of parental control at home, in some cases, and teachers cannot discipline anymore.  \n\nIt's a shame.

I don't know if it is legal or not. It is however not professional at all. As a parent I would be going to the school board with this, as I think that a kid needs to be treated with respect.
