Ask anyone who frequents bars/pubs and they'll tell you that the wrong amount of eye contact can get you into a fight.

I guess Dirty Dancing at the school prom is out, then?

Never did me any harm ;)

Hehe, wow, I bet that was fun.

Well that depends. If it's non-touching dirty dancing, it might be allowed. But I don't know, it could still be too much for American schools.

Non-touching dirty dancing is an oxymoron, its just dancing.

Try coming to some British school balls, then you'll see what dirty dancing really is.

School penalizes students for hugs, high-fives

.....Unlike some schools in the Washington area, which ban fighting or inappropriate touching, Kilmer Middle School in Vienna bans all touching — and that has some parents lobbying for a change.....

....."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.".....

I have worked in schools that have 'no physical contact' rules between pupils. I think if you spent time in schools you would understand why they have felt the need to do this. Especially for teenagers, who will argue every little thing. If you have a blanket no touching rule then you can't get the endless arguments of "we were just hugging"/"he or she is exaggerating how much that hurt"/"it was a play fight miss"/"I only put the knife in a little way" type of chat back you get shortly after some kid has been injured.

I totally understand it. It is not fair..but trust me..teenagers neither understand or respect fair and most of the time they don't deserve it. Parents totally fail to understand what their sweet children become the minute they are out of their loving gaze.

lol. That's happened at my school. I do try to avoid making serious eye contact while at bars or pubs. Those are places where you gotta be careful.

I thought dirty dancing was called "dirty" because it involved physical contact that was sexually suggestive. By non-touching I was thinking of it being done without the touching, but with the suggestiveness.

Are you saying that the dancing in British school balls gets really racy? lol, well, from my experience in American schools, I'd describe the dancing as more subdued.

You make a logical case. It just seems so excessive to me. I can understand the necessity to protect students/pupils. But, even with rules like this one, students can still be mistreated or harassed by other students. Words can sometimes hurt much more than a touch. I would much more prefer that schools try to understand the almost separate society that students live in. In that society bruises will last for days, but words can last forever.

This is very true, as I have seen it over and over again, and sometimes even by teachers as well. It all shows how fragile we all are as human beings.

Words can sometimes hurt much more than a touch.

When they implement the 'no talking' rule, can we extend that to include the 'work force' as well... ;)

"I only put the knife in a little way"

*Cracks up laughing!* Oh Es, you do have such a way with words. Though I wonder if you're actually joking!

What happens if they hug the teacher?
