Are schools going too far?

First I hear that a school here in the states will no longer allow people to hug each other on school property! And now this!?!

They are taking all the fun out of going to school!

As long as the rule that no non-school guests are allowed, I have no problem with it. But I wonder if that really is the rule?

There is no "requirement" that your boyfriend or girlfriend attend the same school as you.

Yes, every other month I hear of some ridiculous new rule enforced by a school (in the Uk). Political correctness gone mad.

I hope you're kidding. Porn stars do not belong at school functions.

How so? It's not like they are going to spontaneously transform into a hardcore porn scene or something.

^This.

The hugging prohibition however leads far too far.

I'll have to add my endorsement to mandatory uniforms. Even in adult education they are handy for instilling professionalism and good work habits.

We have a full length mirror in the lobby that has a sign next to it that says:

"Do you see the professional you are training to become?"
