Class decorum By Doug

Good response,Carolyn.I only disagree with two of your points purely on a pragmatic level.
I get called"dawg"."cuz","blood",even "n****" sometimes but as long as the tone is respectful I usually ignore it.For inner city kids those words are used as terms of,if not endearment,at least of human recognition.
CD players?I look at it like this-if a kid refuses to work and he wants to stay quietly in his CD dream world I just let him.I could make a big issue out of it but I can guarantee my day will NOT be smoother because of it.
