Is "crap" considered a bad word? (lemmy.world)

Me (14y male from Poland) got my english teacher annoyed/disappointed after saying the word "crap". I'm unsure if this is the right place to ask this question but is saying that word considered bad? I always thought it was pretty mild and not a big deal.

We used to use that word in year 4 back in the 90s. The teachers didn't mind, and surprisingly even my super strict parents weren't bothered by it. It's pretty mild. I wouldn't let a younger kid use it, but it's okay to hear imo.

What was the context you used it in?
