I'de much rather "fuck" be avoided that "practice, teach, lesson, chore,
routine, bedtime, command, NO, punish, text book, " Any more unschooling
bad
words that folks have been warned to avoid? How utterly hypocritical to
complain and berate others who are uncomfortable with derogatory terms when
you dole out censorship on practical every day terms that do much less
"harm"
than calling someone a dumbass prick, even if it is behind thier back.
Curse and slang words dont bother me at all. My family and I use them when
and where ever we feel inclined to. But, if the arguement is. "they're just
words" applies to some words, then it must apply to all. .. including your
no
no list for unschooling. If more appropiate words can be used for the terms
that are inappropiate to unschooling, then surely, other suitable words
could be replaced for the ones youve listed as "bad words" and made such a
fuss over thier unacceptabability by society.

I WIN THE POOL!!!
I knew it would be less than an hour before someone without a spell checker
would use the current brouhaha to attack like a berserk flame-thrower.
Now, to try (probably in vain) to inject a little common sense: nobody has
ever said anybody should not use the words: "practice, teach, lesson, chore,
routine, bedtime, command, NO, punish, text book," on this list. If you
think they have, find me the post.
In fact, we like to discuss such words at length!
But it was a nice try.
Pam
P.S. I would much rather someone call me a dumbass prick than teach me to
practice my lessons after my chores followed by routine bedtimes on command
with NO escape from punishment if I didn't read my text book. But maybe
that's just me.
