At school we can’t say bad words. When someone says a bad word, other kids say Aw you said a bad word! And then tell the teacher. I get tired of that. I say Hey listen sometimes you just have to say a bad word. It’s no big deal. Get over it. Move on.
I know I wrote this a long time ago when I was in kindergarten but we called it P2 in my school and my teacher was really understanding. But then in 1st grade I had another teacher who didn’t understand me and I got in trouble a lot for speaking what’s on my mind. To my now teacher I just want to say hey I can’t help it. Because I just sometimes can’t keep my mouth shut. I hope she can get over it and move on because I’m in her classroom again next year and it’s going to be awkward.
You could always get a little notebook where you can keep the stuff your teacher doesn’t want you to say. Writing is a way of talking with your mouth shut.
