Oh My!!!
I do not feel that there is any justifiable reason for an educator to use that word in any spelling to address another person in a professional setting. Whether it be a student, faculty member, staff member, etc. What you do on your own time is your business. Parents are already placing their trust in the school system to provide their child(ren) with the ultimate learning experience. Educators have a great responsibility, and many are looked at as mentors for the students. Some students may feel if it's okay for a teacher to use such language, I'm sure it's okay for me to speak the same. I'm sure the average person wouldn't look at this situation as pleasing. We all know there are some parents these days that wouldn't care. Looking at it on a professional level, I feel it's just unacceptable.
