PDA


The issue of Public Displays of Affection in the THS hallways has students and staff talking. Our Student Handbook defines 'kissing' and 'body contact' as 'inappropriate.' But does that include holding hands? Fist bumps? Or how about hugs?

Schools are not the only ones to define 'decent' public behavior. In Dubai (home of the world's tallest building) public kissing can land you in jail. Take for example this recent case in which British tourists face up to a month in jail for smooching in a Public restaurant.

Compare the laws of Dubai to our own school rules? Are they too harsh or not harsh enough? How would you re-write the PDA rule if you were the Principal?
