Has this been a thing for years and I missed it? To the extent and volume and amount that it is now?
I mean (heck) I would occasionally let a dirty word slip out when I was in high school back during the Dark Ages. But you hear it IN CLASS, as part of general discussion. The "s" word is not a bad word? Really?
I changed schools after this past year. This school is not a "poor" school, but it is instead a mix bag....professor's kids and welfare children. Across the board. And they all seem to be swearing. Non-stop. Every day, all day. I am top of it as far as reprimanding and correcting, but it is viral.
I bring it up to admin, and they look at me like it's not a big issue. (Yes I know that's much of the problem)
Man I feel old.

While I hate hearing this, you have to remember, it is just words. The best thing you can do is to ignore it and not answer if it is used to you. In most cases, I assume it is used to their peers and the kids don't think anything of it. I remember when my son was 3 back in 1974, we walked past a group of teens in our suburb (full of the kids of Northwestern profs, but very diverse) and my son picked up the f word since he thought it was cool because the older kids were using it. We told people he was trying to say truck... I don't think this is a new thing. Teenagers have always tried to shock the older generation.
Make behavior 20% of their grade and im sure they will keep that mouth shut once they fail the class for constant swearing. Every time they curse out loud is 1 point off their final grade.

Can't do it. Behavior is subjective and can't be disaggregated into a discrete data point. Some states have specifically taken cursing off the menu used for determining class disruption and kicked over to the classroom management column.
language changes each generation. What used to be bad to say might not be today. What used to be okay to say in the past might be highly offensive today.
I don't care about the s*** word for instance and growing up in the 90s I was told this is one of the worst words. But I grew up hearing words like "freak" and "retard" from my peers all the time and I honestly think those are awful words.
The f word is still bad.
