In the chit-chat forum there are sometimes implications that are more adult in nature, mostly tasteful, often funny. I do not believe that even though questions arising from such might put a teacher on the spot, that we should sanitize the site to such an extent that it is kinder-ready.
Exactly. This isn't a scientific site for the discussion of cornsnakes. This is a forum where people who enjoy the hobby come together and talk about snakes, cars, women, men, politics, whatever. I don't think we need to be less of ourselves because kids are looking. If you wouldn't say it around your kids, you shouldn't say it here. We should always be aware of the fact that kids are on the web and can access this site, but I'm not going to edit myself because a teacher or parent doesn't pay attention to what their kids are doing.
