At school I did 'A Taste of Honey' I loved the play and the film adaptation was great, there was swearing in it and I was around 13/14 at the time, we thought it was odd swearing in class in front of the teacher, but looking back it was just part of the play and I personally found it very useful (the actual play not the swearing that is!) I do feel that it would not have been realistic without the swearing in, its true life and whether we like it or not they will swear. Am not sure the school doing a play with swearing in is actually condoning it, its just part of the syllabus. Do your children listen to Eminem or other RAP bands because that, I feel is far worse.

At the same age I also remember doing Arthurs Millers play, 'The Crucible' about Salem and witchcraft, that had swearing in it and things of a sexual nature. There is also some iffy classical plays, would you honestly have been cross if your daughter was doing a classical play with sex and debauchery in?

But like Rindy said........I 'd be proud if my child, like your daughter upheld her views and values.........
