It's only been this past year that I've tempted to cuss in front of either of my parents, and even then I really try not to without the right context...and my parents are cussers, too.
The soap works, I just don't think it should be anybody else's responsibility to do it besides the parents'.

Exactly. Nobody lays a hand on my child. While I'm sure some parents do not take the responsiblility of teaching their children discipline, I do not need anybody teaching mine.
I understand the frustration and anger of the teacher. I even cheer her on, deep down inside ... but that's only because it's not my child.
