Now, now, Don’t get upset. There is affection and then there is AFFECTION. As a teacher here at Legacy the “affection” I and am talking about borders on inappropriate. Holding hands, a quick kiss, a hug, those things are all fine and dandy in the right situation, but I don’t think that is the type of “affection” to which the article refers.

Although this thread/blog is a year old,I would still like to briefly comment on it:
Hold it!I can not believe what I read. Such a mediaevel prudish uptight attitude.Keep cool, don’t make it such an issue.It can be so invigorating to see people,showing their affection for each other.Better than bringing weapons to school.It is stories like the one of Neil and Klair that have depth.To all who read this and are not intimidated to show their affection to someone,there is always time.Even in 5 minutes.Keep it up!, but don’t be late for class.

I am with you guys. As an adult it makes me uncomfortable to have to tell students to stop mugging down in the halls. I see it almost every day and it is usually the same people. Occasionally there are new folks trying to find a different location. There is a time and a place for everything and school isn’t the place for that. Plus with only 5 minutes to make it to class there isn’t time!

I agree Nick, it’s absurd that kids think that they have to make out to show affection in a public place. When I’m on my way to class I really don’t want to see kids being all over eachother, isn’t there another place they can do that, not at school? There are way more approprite ways to show affection at school. Why not just hold their hand? It’s easier, cuter, and you can actually have a conversation with someone while doing that. haha

You tell ‘em Nick! It really is an eyesore to be walking through the halls and to see that. Sometimes, when I’m in a hallway, and want to go to the next one over, I don’t because there’s some people making out there. I don’t want to walk through there, because it would be ackward, so it really inconvienences me. Just sayin’.
