Well...at least we're allowed to hug in my school. But...we're not allowed on 90% of websites for some reason.
My school has had this for a long time. It's called PDA or Public Display of Affection. Though most teachers aren't very strict about it.TrilbyWill said:My school has made a few pretty bad decisions in the recent years. we all do exams a year early and over 1 year (despite them being made for 2 years and most universities only accept 1 years worth), firing all but 1 geography teacher, not letting pupils use a gate to go home/to the shops at lunch (for food) and cracking down on full-contact sports.
but now, they have taken that final step. SMT[footnote]Senior Management Team[/footnote] has snapped.
we arent allowed to hug any more.
or, more specifically, guys arent allowed to hug people. because theyre insane.
and no, i am not making this up. one of my friends got a warning for hugging another guy.
so Escapists, i ask of ye, what are your opinions on this?
and has your schools SMT ever done something this insane?
That... would be brilliant. Love to see the teachers face after that.NinjaDeathSlap said:Just get a pact with every other guy in the school that says every time a teacher walks by in the hallways you all have to find the nearest guy to you, and embrace them tightly whilst singing 'Guy Love' from Scrubs. Keep doing this until they just give up.
Passive resistance ftw.
I always had at least 15 minutes to myself over lunch after food, personally. But I see where you're coming from, if a child isn't eating so that they have more time to play videogames. That simply wasn't the case in my schools.RicoGrey said:After reading your response it sounds like our schools handled lunch differently. At my high school, lunch was 30 minutes. It was just enough time to get to the cafeteria, eat your food, and return, with maybe a few minutes to spare. So you really didn't have free time during lunch. If you wanted to play a GBA, it meant you were not eating lunch, would be a problem in itself. Understand that the main reason for no GBAs or their likeat our school, is due to kids using them during class, not so much using them during lunch.conflictofinterests said:Why no gameboys and their ilk during lunch? I don't believe they provide board games anymore to occupy the free time between finishing food and the start of the next class. Not everyone is into card games, drawing or sports. Furthermore, some people just don't have a lot of friends, and therefore would be sitting alone, pondering the reasons why they aren't having any fun. Maybe there's a greater incidence of theft? Iunno, man. I just don't see why someone on a gaming site would be against people gaming in their free time.RicoGrey said:snipAtmos Duality said:I recall my own High School undergoing Prison-Transformation:
