<br>Ban "as"??  You mean like in:
<br>
<br>"(censored) Good (censored) It Gets"
<br>"He stood (censored) if transfixed."
<br>
<br>In my feeling, if "as" is banned, you have to substitute something
<br>else, e.g.:
<br>
<br>"Like I said before..."
<br>"Like you know, we don't tolerate nonstandard usage in this class!"

<br>========
<br>I only ban it as a subordinator. Instead, they have to decide to use one of
<br>the following: because, since, while, although, though, etc.
<br>(Like you like it. I like it.)
