Your yearly reminder that "l learn through suffering" can be translated into Latin as "Disco Inferno"

I used to curse when I taught physics, and the students never once flinched. I was "monitored" by a supervisor who said it was highly unprofessional and disrespectful to cuss during lectures... So I quit.
You're going to insult my intelligence because I use an empathetic "this is fucking important" instead of a foot stomp? Nah bro.
I used to teach math and would occasionally do the same. The students loved it, always got a laugh or at least a grin out of it, which is actually quite helpful to alleviate the pain the material was otherwise clearly causing them.
I’d say as long as it’s not overdone, it can actually be quite helpful as a teaching device, because it shows that you can empathize with your students and recognize their feelings about the subject.
Had an english teacher in college use the F word to great effect. He didnt drop it until several lectures in, and made sure to point out how effective it can be if it’s not overused.
The way I see it, it's very similar to seasoning your food. When done correctly, it can massively improve the flavor and help ease digestion, but if you overdo it, it can also easily ruin the whole dish.

Wow dude, you used the hard “X” and everything. Not cool man, not cool!
