Standard of Talk

Requiring a high standard of speech is particularly important in the school setting. The standard of talk for all teachers and students at Living Grace Christian School is expressed in Ephesians 4:29: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” (NIV). Talk such as put-downs, gossip, lying, grumbling, complaining, cursing, vulgar language, and worldly talk about boyfriends-girlfriends, movies, music, pop stars, and computer games is strictly forbidden.
