A Middle School Bans Any Touching By Students, Whatsoever, Including Hand Shaking and High Fives, Because The Administration and School Board Believe Students Don’t Know What is Appropriate Touching. The Penalty for Any Touching is Either Suspension or Expulsion From School.

That Said Our Opinion Question of the Day”: …. Check our “American Family Life.com” Website for the audience response and forum comments.

Question:  Should A Middle or Any School Ban Any Touching By Students Whatsoever Because The Students Don’t Know What is Appropriate Touching?

  1. Students shouldn’t be touching each other for any reason while at school.
  2. Students need to learn in the social environment of the school what is appropriate touching as part of the educational experience.
  3. The School Board and the principal should clearly define what is inappropriate touching as part of the educational process.
  4. The principal and the school board need to get a life and be replaced failing to understand that the social aspect of the educational process is as important as an academic education.
