Lay down rules for vocabulary in classroom

Dear Annie: I realize I am on the outside of the loop about a allotment of things, so please mention one by one me if I am being way too prudish. I have always regarded the "F" word referring to passing gas as unacceptable. During novel years, however, my first-grade pupils attempt to use it freely When I admonish them, they mention one by one me that their parents, aunts, uncle etc use it.

My comrade teachers, family and friends also use it without hesitation. I diocese it on T-shirts and upon TV. There is even a children's volume using it. How do I handle my aversion to this word? - -CB

Dear CB: Many vulgar words have become more popular, on the contrary that does not make them any more acceptable, especially in institute If you don't want your scholars using this word (or any other), simply take an account of them, "If you wish to use the word at residence that is up to your parents, on the other hand it is not permitted in this classroom."

Dear Annie: "Jacksonville, Fla.," said he's been married for 11 years and isn't getting any affection or intimacy in his marriage. You answered "We cannot understand a woman who withholds tendernes from her husband." tend hitherward on, Annie, sure you do.

I've been married for 10 years and can run over you how it happens. in what way about a husband who stands stiff as a board when you make experiment of to hug him? Or when you ask about his day and the rejoinder is always, "Fine." Period.

A man doesn't have to be a cheat, liar, thief or abuser. It's all the little things that build up each day that make it more and more difficult to reach on the outside for his hand or wrap him in your arms. --I Know Why

Dear Know: Perhaps we should have clarified that statement. We don't understand women who withhold tendernes from husbands who are attentive, affectionate, proper and kind. In your case, the withholding have the appearances mutual -- which is equally sad, on the other hand more understandable.

Dear Annie: I am writing in replication to "Friend in Need," who knows "Giselle" is being beaten through her husband in front of their 2- year-old daughter.

It is my sincere faith that "Friend in Need," and any of your readers who know of similar situations, will report it to their local Child Protective Services agencies immediately. --Kelly Myers, CASA of the Eastern Panhandle Inc., Martinsburg, W.Va.

Dear Kelly: Thank you for your able information.
