Coming from a Law Enforcement background I am very observance. I see students in the hallway engaged in lip locking activities and I go and break them up, or if they are repeated offender I will take them to an adminstrator. I can be standing, or walking down the hall and see this going on and there can be teachers in the same hallway and they don't see it. What's your schools policy.

ReplyDeleteI feel your pain on this one. For the most part, we do not have huge issues with this, but there are a steady few who feel it is okay to put their hands on each other. Having been raised how I think of as "correctly" I am a bear about this. I will give a warning, but if it happens again, I give the students the option of spending their next break with me or going to the A.P. Most choose to spend one break period with me (cleaning my shop) and make better choices next time. Just a thought.

Being a nurse, I speak very bluntly to the kids about this. First, I give them my evil-eye look and usually one of the lover's will look up and decide to move on. But if they continue on with the loving, I go up to them and tell them I don't want to see any love making in my hallway and please move on and go make love somewhere else. They usually laugh and move on.
ReplyDeleteA time or two I have gotten more explicit. Like: 1)No bumping and grinding in front of me, please. I'm old and it might cause me to have a heart attack or a stroke. 2)No deep throat tongue swabs of the throat, please. Lots of strep throat going around and I don't care to have the germs in my hallway. Plus, you might cause her/him to have a gag reflex and vomit. And then you will have to clean it up. 3)Check each other for ticks somewhere else, please. Move along!
They usually just laugh and move on.
