Cuddling faces the chop this time as a headteacher bans his students from embracing eachother in their breaktimes.
He has two reasons for this, first of all it makes students late for lessons (one or two minutes tops...they'll always find a way to lose these first minutes from a lesson, hugs or no hugs) and also because it could border on inappropriate.
I'm sorry but even though the cry of rape is more common than the cry of tears in this country when have you ever heard of a student complaining that their friend has hugged them in a way that makes them uncomfortable? Students hug their closest friends as a form of affection, the likelihood of a sexual abuse story cropping up out of this is pretty slim.
I think it's absurd.
So if the kids aren't allowed to show eachother affection and kindness then good luck stopping bullying. Because the only option that is being left is nastiness.
I know which I'd prefer.
