Expulsion? Ha! Life in prison!
So, what if someone hands another a book and their hands accidentally touch? Does brushing against someone in a crowded hallway while both are rushing to class count?
A Connecticut middle school principal has laid down the law: You put your hands on someone — anyone — in any way, you’re going to pay.
A violent incident that put one student in the hospital has officials at the Milford school implementing a “no touching” policy, according to a letter written by the school’s principal.
[…]
Students and parents are outraged. They said the new policy means no high-fives and hugs, as well as horseplay of any kind. The consequences could be dire, Williams warned in the letter.“Potential consequences and disciplinary action may include parent conferences, detention, suspension and/or a request for expulsion from school,” Williams wrote.
With all the crap kids have to put up with these days from schools and overreaching laws, I’m betting a good field to go into for the future would be psychiatry. And this all stems from the fact that one kid kicked another one in the nuts. Gee, that’s never happened before.
Honey, lets shrink the kids…
There goes the sports programs.
No wonder kids today are so insecure…
Sounds like the voice of the catholic church snuck into the head of some middle school principal and it is starting to leak in public.
It’s advisable to walk around with hands in pocket.
TIP: If you get caught, you can get can off on a technically. Any physicist would tell you that the theory of strong forces says you can never really touch anything (only get REALLY close).
“A violent incident that put one student in the hospital”
Must have been a fight were one student claimed, “I barely touched him”. This would be the typical laissez faire parenting over reaction type response. Hard, firm, no way to justify any action, no debate, rules.
A principal wants things smooth and quiet, at about any cost. He has yearly reviews, many times which is tied to salary or promotion. I spent years working for them, and have a MS in School Administration myself, though I never used it. I had my fill of a broken system and moved on.
I’ve been doing a practicum in a public High School and students touch each other all the time.
#4:
I went to Catholic school, and the rules were always more reasonable than those in public schools.
These schools are out of control. No wonder people choose to home school. Unfortunately there’s this meme that home schooling is bad – compared to this? Yeah, right.
Time to get the women out of the school system altogether. They have ruined our kids. The feminization of the school system, which began in California in the 60’s is responsible for all this bullshit.
I’m just saying, if this was my kid’s Principal I think we would be asking to transfer to another school.
I do think the Superintendent will be discussion the matter with the Principal though. It is very difficult to have any type of sports program or physical education without touching the student.
Ed, It’s “mandatory”. Spelling checker is your friend.
This principal’s rule is stupid. I am sure he is too.
Smiling leads to happiness,
happiness leads to touching,
touching leads to fondling,
fondling leads to, The Dark Side.
Between this article and the ‘nude 14 year old’, I can visualize something like this in the future.

Kootie Shot and all their problems will be

Hey, crazy woman, while you are at it ban breathing in shcool also as that can lead to the spread of germs.
What a nutjob.

tbh, they are just conditioning the kids for the police state to be installed starting this winter.
