Parents Say School Counselor Taught Kids Dirty Words
Parents Say School Counselor Taught Kids Dirty Words

ASHLEY, Ohio — Parents in Delaware County are upset over an elementary school lesson on bullying that they say exposed their children to explicit language.

The controversial class occurred when a guidance counselor spoke to fifth graders at Buckeye Valley East Elementary School on Monday, 10TV's Kurt Ludlow reported.

Parents said the guidance counselor asked the fifth graders to share words that had hurt their feelings. According to parents, the counselor wrote the words down to display to the students.

"It suddenly turned X-rated," parent Joe Veneman told 10TV News. "Some of the words that were brought up were inappropriate probably in a pornographic movie."

His son Grant Veneman talked about the incident.

"At first they were just words, like 'jerk' and 'baby' and stuff, and then there were real bad words," Grant told 10TV News.

3. ummmm... the kids brought up the words
anyone that doesn't think fifth graders have a FULL vocabulary already is naive to an extreem.

I remember catching my daughters language when I wasn't "watching" at that age.

Sounds like he was dealing with reality and the parents are dealing with disney.

7. "Only I didn't say 'fudge'."
Edited on Thu Mar-12-09 06:01 PM by Tesha
"In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as w
know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan."

"Only I didn't say 'fudge.' I said the word. The big one. The queen mother of dirty
words. The 'f, dash, dash, dash' word."

Mother: "All right. Now, are you ready to tell me where you heard that word?"
Ralphie as Adult, narrating: "Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from
my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay.
It was his true medium; a master. But, I chickened out and said the first name that
came to mind."
Ralphie: "Schwartz!"
...
Mrs. Parker: "Mrs. Schwartz, do you know what Ralph just said?"
Mrs Schwartz: "(incoherent over the phone.)"
Mrs. Parker: "No, not that. He said... (She whispers into the phone)"
Mrs Schwartz: "No, not that!"
Mrs. Parker: "Yes, that. Do you know where he heard it?"
Mrs Schwartz: "Probably from his father."
Mrs. Parker: "No! He heard it from your son!"
Mrs Schwartz: "What?! What?! What?! (Heard faintly over the phone she is spanking her son)"
Schwartz: "Ah! What'd I do, Mom? Why? I didn't do nothing! Ah! Ah!"

"I have since heard of people under extreme duress speaking in strange tongues.
I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities and swearing of all kinds
was pouring out of me as I screamed."

5. It'll never catch on.
Peer teaching of dirty words is just too popular.
