Swear Words in Books? What do you think? Here's what I think

 If I saw a swear word I won't read or buy a book because as a teacher I cannot afford to be reminded of swear words so that they spring into my mind and out of my mouth when I drop a pencil.

I also don't want to recommend such a book. Why?

I don't want to have to explain swear words to pupils.

Nor do I want to have pupils going home and telling their parents, the teacher taught me this word.
