I would find some time to speak with them alone, like after or before class. I would talk to them and let them know what they are saying is inappropriate and not allowed. If you don't see any change, I would talk to their parents. TikTok is also a 12+ app, children in elementary shouldn't be on the app. I would talk to the parents and let them know.

I feel like there is a way to address this issue and avoid feeding them negative attention. To me, negative attention looks something like shouting "Hey! We don't say that!" in front of the whole class. It seems like this is a class-wide issue where most of the students are contributing to TikTok talk, so I believe an effective way to limit this talk would be to sit them down and go over new classroom rules about what is appropriate to talk about and what is not. Some of these students might not even understand the meaning behind the things they see on TikTok, so this conversation should be assertive but not shaming. You should follow explicit instruction, showing students what would inappropriate discussions would look like, then showing them what appropriate discussions would look like. Allow them to practice with each other as well! Hopefully this discussion will inform them of your new rules and help them understand what should avoid being discussed during class time.

I would say that it is important to have a discussion about what is appropriate in the classroom and what is not. These are lessons that they will carry forward not only in school but in life.

One way to deal with inappropriate student talk regarding TikTok material is to steer the conversation into more appropriate subjects or learning goals. Setting clear guidelines for class conversations and exhibiting polite communication techniques might assist in directing students toward more appropriate conversation topics. Furthermore, contemplate integrating conversations on responsible online conduct and digital citizenship to foster consciousness and comprehension of suitable content sharing.

I would sit down with the entire class and discuss the difference between appropriate and inappropriate language in the classroom. I would also send a newsletter to parents with concerns about the use of Tiktok.

I'd say reward students who do not use the inappropriate language as an incentive for others to do the same. There is also the possibility that since they are so young they don't truly know the meaning behind what they say and if that is the case, you could speak to them individually and let them know what they say is not appropriate in the classroom setting and could be offensive to their peer as well.

Make it clear right from wrong. Interact with students in conversations they can have- shut down or change conversations they shouldn't.
