Brit Kids Can Say F Word 5 Times Per Class

"Within each lesson the teacher will initially tolerate (although not condone) the use of the f-word (or derivatives) five times and these will be tallied on the board so all students can see the running score," he wrote in the letter.

"Over this number the class will be spoken to by the teacher at the end of the lesson."

If you read the full article, this was a policy implemented specifically because of a couple of very unruly classes. It seems to me that the way to impose order on a class room is to actually impose order and not allow kids to be uncivilized louts 5 times and THEN have the teacher speak to them. I think if I was a student in that class I would start each session with the following sentence:

"F- the F-ing moron who came up with this stupid F-ing policy about saying the F-ing F-word in the F-ing classroom."

This would use up all of the allotments and get it out of the way so we could resume a normal classroom environment. What's next: kids get 5 free petty crimes before being prosecuted? No wonder they have problems controlling crime over in the UK. If they can't raise kids to speak politely for the duration of a classroom session, how can they teach them other basic rules of decorum and civility?
