to think "bloody" is not a swear word?

[MummyO3]

my son is in primary 2 ... aged 6 (just turned) ... and is on a behaviour chart, due to some extreme behaviour.(adhd)

now when he gets all six stars for the day we make a big fuss of him...

6 periods of time, if all rules kept he gets a star for that period of time... rules are 1. no agressive behaviour in the class or playground...2. listen to my teacher and do what is asked...3.put my hand up and wait to talk to my teacher...

so today he comes home with 5 stars and a number 1 it states, sent to depute for using bad language....

imo bloody isnt bad language, now the school have said he said bloody, just randomly, nothing else with it, so not like he said bloody hell etc (catholic school, so could understand them being annoyed about that) but i dont get why the school has reacted over this

AIBU?

i have scored the one out on his chart and put a star, i refuse to punish him for that, and noted on the chart, "sorry but i dont think the word used is a "swear" word etc and i think its very unfair that he has had a number 1 for this rather than just speaking with us about it"

as 5 stars are 5 stars he gets the pocket money earned but 6 stars is a big differnce cause he haas gotten them all, now i am by no means soft on my son, i will be the first to punish him if he is wrong, but i dont think he is

WWUD?

thanks :)

flicktheswitch the number of times children came up to me on playground duty to say "X has sweared" and it would be "shut up" or "bum" or, horror of horrors,"willy"

Yes, it is swearing - if you check it in the urban dictionary it is confirmed to be an expletive. This is the standard reference tool of a number of regulatory bodies.

i dont use forums often...in fact this is my first one...i didnt want to start a new thread, theres nothing i can gain from any advice on the matter...i simply googled my issues on this site to see if they had been dealt with before starting a new thread that had already been resolved (didnt want to sound like a scratched record on any of my issues). When i read this thread though i felt that i had a point to add, regarding the tweenies thing...i only added my personal situation to show my personal interest in the matter. I was simply hoping that the OP would still be online to see the tweenies post i made and hopefully give her/him a chuckle.

lol @ willy...see mine dont even say that! ...they say winkie lol! and im not sure they even have a word at all for fanny! ...they are very very conscientiousness, the problem is a culture one...down south it was fine...the schools allowed it...now we have moved its not...thats hard for kids.

Depending on how old your child is as how I would class that obviously as your child is young some parents may but if he said it out of the blue he may of made an innocent 😇 feferal to the blood in your body

It's OK, he's well into his teens now no one will be batting an eylid at "bloody" now he's about 14.
