The Further Pussification of America Options

[impala454]

so why not just ban inappropriate sexual behavior?

[Testm0nkey]

im sure its already been banned and the ban may have not appeared to be working. so if you get the kids used to the idea that they cant do PDA in school and will repeatedly be told to stop then that may lower the incidents of more riskier behavior. conditioning does work really well

school is school and yeah its different from a professional work environment because they are just kids but making out in public almost anywhere is fairly inappropriate. so it must be even more inappropriate in a school setting

[Psykopath]

I seem to remember a similar ban in place in LISD. No harm done to the kiddos.
Like Cathryn said: school is school.

so if the ban on the specific (inappropriate sexual behavior) didn't work, why would a ban on something even more broad work? if they couldn't enforce something small, how could they enforce something so much more broad?

imho it's just more examples of school district administrators trying to get themselves in the news and tighten the reigns even more.

if this is allowed then what's next? will we ban touching completely? separate the girls from the boys? these kids will be so socially screwed up when they grow up, well... the name of the thread says it all.

alright then, let's do what I believe you are proposing: no restrictions (even on sexual behavior).

I mean, if it doesn't work then why enforce it, right?



Like I said, this basically same rule was in place while I went to Lubbock High and it didn't cause any problems. The students, for the most part, abided by that set of rules.

[Testm0nkey]

getting rid of things before they evolve into problems is more of what i was talking about. you stop it when the kids seemed to be physically focused on each other and kissing in the hallways, which shouldnt be allowed anyway, then they are less likely to be engaging in oral sex in the classrooms (i know a case where this was happening)

[Spectatrix]

I think only disruptive PDA should be banned. Playing tonsil hockey in the hallway is disruptive. Holding hands, a brief hug, or a quick kiss is not.

If kids are engaging in oral sex in the classrooms and get caught, suspend 'em. Simple enough. Banning minor PDA just pisses folks off.

I went to a private school that banned all this. We couldn't even hug our friends of the same sex. In fact, unless we were playing sports, there was a rule where we had to be 6 inches away from everybody at all times. If we violated the 6 inch rule, it was automatic detention.

no i'm just saying leave it the way it is and enforce it. it's like illegal immigration... there's nothing wrong with the laws, just the enforcement.

effin A

although it's a private school so i guess they can do whatever

[Divergent Realit...]

so why not just ban "inappropriate" sexual behavior?

its a very relative term.

[impala454]

not really... as long as you tell the teachers what's appropriate and what's not.

this is just like how we have clothing rules in schools. some schools enforce their clothes rules fine, and have no problem. others can't seem to enforce it and take the pussy way out and go to uniforms.

and look how screwed up you turned.

i agree with spec. stuff that is disruptive to everyone else should not be tolerated, but i'm a firm believer that school is not just a place to learn academics, but also how to learn social skills. "conditioning" kids this way sounds like a load of bullshit.

[Testm0nkey]

and an aspect of learning social skills is that making out in public isnt acceptable in most places

how did people walk in the hallway during period changing?

fuck that, I'd think that learning to make out while ignoring teems of students in the hallway is a valid and useful social skill
