Swearing in year 3 reading book

[babyin2020]

My 7 year old in year 3 came home today with a new book for reading at home he opened the book and handed it to me. The first line of the book opens with swearing. Do you think this is appropriate?

@cardswapping

Is this book by any chance?

Mille milliards de mille sabords!

I love Tintin. Captain Haddock's swearing always makes me giggle.

@Alternista

Ok, the US election is now second place in “things I need answered”.

COME ON OP!!!

Amazing 😂😂😂 so funny

I don't know some of the school reading books here are horrific and sodding Jane and Tim or whatever names are used now are really boring. Except the one with a poem from spike Milligan. That was a good week.

The current one opened today starts with a play called Pooh. I mean fucking (sorry op) seriously ...have they not met DC aged 4 and 7 before ? Spent the first 15 minutes stopping them cackling and yelling pooh loudly , as it was legitimized as homework .

Good thing next door is a teacher.

Sod swearing (although probably best not my DC are really bloody loud so would be heard yelling it from three streets over) stop with the pooh books !!

Never gonna find out are we?

Ner, OP's not coming back.

The line about "not the fucking magic key again" wins the thread for me, nut in the meantime I'll offer up:
The very angry cuntapiller
Swallow the amazon
Peter"s Pan-ts
Dr do-it-a-little
The little prick
Winnie does a pooh
Tarka's a Hotter
The owl and the pussy

I'm disappointed i got to the end and haven't found out 😔

7 pages in and still not clue what the word was...

I really appreciate all the new posters mentioning no update for OP.

Saves me fucking scrolling for pages then realising there isn't a bloody update. Which will make me swear, and that would be very,very bad indeed.

Not y3 reading book level bad of course.

Hi Op what on earth were your child school thinking of !!! 😕
Might have could well be an oversight on their part,could easily happen,

But obviously never less inAppropiate ,but like other posters have said,depends what taboo four letter word,if for e.g the context was something described as bloody like bloody battle or one of the main character'in story book, had bloody nose,

Acceptable four letter taboo word.

Compared to serious hard core tabboo swear words that's obviously different totally unwarrented and acceptance.

@ComeOnBabyHauntMyBubble never occurred to you to press the "see all" by OPs name?

I will never now be able to 'unread' Thomas the Wank Engine.

There is only one post by the OP? I can't see another

Picture please or it didn't happen.

Makes as much sense as 'sexual intercourse hell! I've stubbed my sexual intercourse toe ... Etc.'

Fuck is actually a really lovely word to look at the grammar of. It can be a noun (I don't give a fuck), verb (she fucks him), interjection (Fuck!), adverb (fucking fuming mate), adjective (that's fucking awesome).

Suzie Dent has a YouTube video about fuck, I highly recommend -

Yes, seayork2020
So you don't need to read the entire thread in order to know the OP didn't come back.
I did, but guessed/hoped that PPs might be entertaining on this thread.
Which is why I read it all. They did not disappoint!

I rarely (3 times since it's been in use and that 's because i forgot some important detail while writing a reply) use it so I tend to forget about it,even on threads where OP's posts are all that matters. Damn, I'm getting old.

I used to find studying The History Boys with my A Level groups excruciating with the swearing. Couldn't believe it when they brought it in as a GCSE text. 😬

Of Mice and Men is tough in places with language too.

Anyway, OP- what was the book?!

I remember my friend’s mum cancelling a play date at that age because I used the word “bum”.

I’m curious to see which words the OP would cancel a play date for, but I suspect she’s not coming back.

Fuck is actually a really lovely word to look at the grammar of. It can be a noun (I don't give a fuck), verb (she fucks him), interjection (Fuck!), adverb (fucking fuming mate), adjective (that's fucking awesome).

Of course, the real challenge is to get all of them into one sentence, "Fuck, the fucking fucker's fucking fucked again."

A child in my class (age 6) came to whisper that another child had said a swear word...
Apparently it was the r word. After a short conversation I ascertained the swear word the other child had said was 'rubbish.'

This is just like DS (6) who thinks "stupid " is swearing bless him!

Someone complained that we had Captain Underpants as a reading book in our C of E primary school. It had the word ‘turd’ in it! 😂 💩 Oh yes, and some of the words in the cartoon bits ‘written’ by the kids were misspelled, as in Wot, etc. Sigh. My attempts to find engaging books for reluctant readers weren’t appreciated.

Well this was informative

As a teacher the bane of my life is when they come up to me at lunch with "Miss, X said the f word!" I learnt very quickly my first week to get them to say to me quietly after I got literal heart palpitations over "fart". Please stop teaching your children that silly, stupid, flip, are the s/f word!

My relief when the c word turned out to be crap was real.

Has the OP fainted from clutching pearls too hard?
