Educators: In a disciplinary sense, what things have you decided to "let slide"?

Asked by SundayKittens (5834points) October 26th, 2010

I’ve come to the realization after two years at the high school level that if I reprimand teenagers for every little thing, I have no time to teach and I become a nervous wreck.
For instance, I’ve let cussing go unless it’s directed at me (and THAT is not a pretty scene) because it is a losing battle…I just pretend I don’t hear it.
What things have you found are useless to try to correct? Or that you once punished but realized aren’t detrimental to the classroom or learning?
