So what’s next? [http://www.cnn.com/2007/EDUCATION/06/18/no.touching.rule.ap/index.html](http://www.cnn.com/2007/EDUCATION/06/18/no.touching.rule.ap/index.html) **VIENNA, Virginia** (AP) – A show of affection almost landed a teenage boy in detention. Hugging was 13-year-old Hal Beaulieu’s crime when he sat next to his girlfriend at lunch a few months ago and put his arm around her shoulder. He was let off with a warning, but the cost of a repeat offense could be detention. A rule against physical contact at Kilmer Middle School, about 10 miles west of Washington, is so strict that students can be sent to the principal’s office for hugging, holding hands or even high-fiving. “I think hugging is a good thing,” said Hal, a seventh-grader. “I put my arm around her. It was like for 15 seconds. I didn’t think it would be a big deal.” Unlike some schools, which ban fighting or inappropriate touching, Kilmer Middle School bans all touching. But that doesn’t seem necessary to Hal and his parents. They’ve sent a letter asking the county school board to review the rule. But at a school of 1,100 students that was meant to accommodate 850, school officials think touching can turn into a big deal. They’ve seen pokes lead to fights, gang signs in the form of handshakes and girls who are uncomfortable being hugged but embarrassed to say anything. “You get into shades of gray,” Kilmer Principal Deborah Hernandez said. "The kids say, ‘If he can high-five, then I can do this.’ " Hernandez said the no-touching rule is meant to ensure that students are comfortable and that crowded hallways and lunchrooms stay safe. She said school officials are allowed to use their judgment in enforcing the rule. Typically, only repeat offenders are reprimanded. ---

When are they going to understand that by creating another rule, especially one that parents are going to discuss in the home that they are openly against. It will only give kids a more rebellious outlook on it. There is by no means anything wrong with affection… If you tell them not to touch each other, it’s only going to make them want to do it more. Fuck these people, I think it’s time for their school board to have a public review done by the parents. Jack, that is a bit much but in an aspect I almost agree with you. ---

Can anybody read??? the rule was put in place for a reason. A very good reason, I agree with it but I personally would put my kids in a private school, not because they cant hug but because that school is wayyyy to crowded. ---

Trust me, as a kid that went to a private catholic elementary school, it doesn’t help us in the long run. Its weird brainwashing, and we are basically in a bubble when we should be meeting weirdos and getting our asses kicked. ---

sounds right… the only time you see parental involvement is when their kid told he/she is not allowed to do something. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/this-country-is-going-to-sh-t/31164.md?page=2)
