  1. “Stop cussing.  It’s impolite and inappropriate for school. I don’t care if everyone else is doing it.”

  2. “Other modifiers besides the word ‘f***ing’ are available. Maybe if you paid attention in English class, you would learn about the beauty of our language and build a wide vocabulary.”

  3. “And speaking of English class…two negatives make a positive.  ‘Anymore’ is the correct choice for this sentence, as in ‘No one likes to come to school anymore.'”

  4. “Do you dislike school because of people like me who are always eager to correct your grammar?”

  5. “Just deal with it, you entitled brat.  Do you think your generation is the first to dislike school? Disliking school is an age-old tradition.  That’s why truant officers were created.”

  6. “Just deal with it, you spoiled brat.  Just wait until you are an adult with a demanding boss and a forty-plus hour work week and mouths at home to feed and bills to pay and so on. School is easy by comparison.”

  7. “Maybe it’s your attitude.  Perhaps if you and your fellow students were more pleasant to each other and to your teachers, the mood in the classrooms would improve.  Send out some positive vibes for a change!”

  8. “Spring break is almost here.  Be patient, Young One!”
