DS 10 yrs old has been telling me that there is a boy in his class that curses. He often says h-ll, what the heck/fudge and occasionally even the f bomb. I'd feel like such a tattle and so self-righteous going to the Rebbe or principal. It's definitely not something I can bring up with the kid's mother (I don't even know her.) Of course I spoke to my son about the importance of clean speech despite what others around us are doing, but is that enough? Or do I need to do something about this situation? What would you do?

Yes!!!! Speak to the menahel!!!!!!!!

The school may know and may be dealing with it, but they may not be.

I once had a kindergartner in my son's class say, "I know the F word."
dh and I were horrified and told our son he could never ever ever say that.

I wanted to call menahel, dh didn't want me to.

I ended up calling menahel about two weeks later abt something else, and since I was speaking to him anyway, mentioned it.
He paused and asked when this hapoened. I told him two weeks ago.
He said that the school knew, and they dealt with it, and he was relieved it wasn't a repeated incident.
The boy had a brother in PS for special needs, and brought the nivul peh home.

Menahel said to me- if anything like that EVER happens, you MUST call me right away.

I'm a teacher, I had a student who came from public school and would use profanity among her friends but was very careful near adults. I appreciated when a parent called me to discuss it.
