The same was I ask them not to use profanity in my presence.

like

Almost all of my students are Black.

If I hear it or any profanity/obscenity I will say something to the effect of "Watch your language" or "Please don't use that language"
Usually they will apologize but sometimes they are completely unaware of what they even said and a classmate will tell them.

I agree with California and have the same approach. I don’t allow any obscene language, and no one can argue that the word is not obscene, no matter who is using it.

No profanity allowed. Period. I tell them it’s unprofessional language and we have to use professional language in school. My only exception is when we read To Kill A Mockingbird; I will allow Black students to fill in the blank when I’m reading out loud, but at no other time is it acceptable.

like

Use school language not outside of school language.

I explain on day one that there are several words that I will consider profanity and that is one of them. If I hear it, they will go to the office and get a call home.

The office calls home for you? For profanity? They would get sent back with a question as to what the response was when we called home (implication being we should not be bothering the office until we had called home and things escalated AFTER that)

like

I will add that when I say something they tend to apologize or adjust their language and move on.
They don't complain or ask why can't they like they really want to say the word

My Redfin agent recently quit with one day notice to start his own firm. He was the one behind my deal and did a lot of work and help with negotiation. However Redfin called me and said they put their top regional lead on transaction which is set to close in 10 days. I’m conflicted with what to do. As a buyer I know I can switch firms with seller’s consent and it won’t impact the deal, or will it? The agent said if I went with him he’s throw me an additional incentive to close with him.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

I'm probably leaving the practice of law in Q12023

I am the junior attorney at a small PI firm (5 lawyers). I love my job and my firm, the partners, and my colleagues.

I have another opportunity that is important to me, so I'm planning to step away.

I have maybe 10-15 lit cases that I'm "responsible" for. Some of them are tar babies that I know the partners and my colleagues would hate taking over, but I don't think I'm willing to wait for resolution on them either. Thoughts?

To the Antiracist Educators, when we have trolls who do not understand what being an Antiracist means, would you like me to allow them to post even though they are clearly posting here with no positive intent?

I could block them. They can easily go post somewhere else.

What do you think we should do?

I’ll leave this question up for one week.
