It is an inappropriate behavior, but not uncommon.
If the teacher brought this to your attention (which I'm assuming is how you know of this) then he has continued this behaviour despite the regular disciplines used by the teacher that normally work on kids his age.
What do you mean by 'acting badly'? Does he throw temper tantrums and won't be calmed? Does he hit, bite, spit, kick, scream? Does he destroy his work? Walk away when talked toor otherwise appear not to be listening? Refuse to sit with the class and instead wander around the classroom?
Most importantly, does this only happen at school, or at home and out in the neighborhood as well?
These are some early signs of ADHD or ADD - which are addressed for the first time usually when the child enters kindergarden because they become so disruptive to the class.
IF so, punishment won't help. And neither are you a 'bad' parent. Your son would need to see several doctors, be diagnosed, and go through intense therapy and perhaps medication in order to change his behaviour.
Might want to research that.
Good Luck!

To all of you that say that this mother is a bad mother and she should stop using profanity, I have two word for you.....f*ck off!!! Your son may not know that there are certain words that you don't use in school. I think you should start by having that conversation with your child first and as far as acting up in class, try the obvious, ask your son why he's doing it. Kids are pretty honest, especially at such a young age (lying is not yet in their vernacular, they don't know better yet :P). If your son is like most kids he'll probably tell you why he's misbehaving, not enough parents think to ask straight up what's going on, there always has to be some hidden meaning behind everything. If you ask him his answer may be as simple as "the teacher looks funny" or something along those lines. Kids say the damnedest things.

Sometimes it's not the parent's fault at all. Listen people do you really think he is the only kid using profanity in school???? Be real people!!!! First you do want to sit down and talk to him. Find out why he is doing this (Is someone else saying these things). Tell him that you don't care where he is hearing this from and thinks it is funny, it will not be funny when you come up to the school pull him out of class and wear his bottom out in front of all of his funny nasty mouth friends. Go to lunch with him. Interact with him at school as much as possible to let him know you can be around at school if needed and keep good communication with the teacher. If you confront him with word to word accusations from the horses mouth there is no room for lies... It will get better, but if you don't get a stern handle on it now you will have a little sailor by mid school....

Where did he learn the profanity....at home? I hope not.
You sit him down facing you and make him look at you
while you say to him that he cannot use those words in
his school anymore nor can he behave badly. If you
hear that he does, then start taking away privileges
(such as snacks, playtime, favorite book or toy, etc.)
until he becomes a "big boy in school".

Sarah obviously seems a little off key. Someone telling everyone else to f-off that kids don’t pick that up from parents is kind of scary. And kids don’t lie
I think it is probably a problem with the environment the child is growing up in that needs correcting.

well spanking is not the answer, you could give him time out when he comes home instead of playing his/her favorites games or watching TV he /she does nothing. he/she comes home from school and do hw and have dinner and straight to bed the longer they misbehave in school the longer the punishment . when he gets tired or bored he will get the message to behave and stop using profanity .

Time outs do not work.
You need to be strict and spank him.
I can't believe you're even asking a question like this online. Don't you have any natural parenting skills, or do you need advice from a bunch of teenagers on Yahoo?

Obviously you are doing something wrong as a parent or pay closer attention of who you have watching your kid. I really suggest you take some Child Development classes, after all we are our kids first teachers! Our kids are a reflection of us( the parents) Do something about it before it's too late.

First, who taught him profanity? Is this a person in his life he sees and admires? Is he trying to act like him in front of his peers because he wants to be like this person?

Where did he learn profanity?
He needs to understand that these are "adult words" and that they are NOT nice words to use.
What other kind of bad behaviour are you talking about?
What has his teacher suggested about dealing with it?
