The extent of PDA pivots on the setting. They approve of PDA anywhere and with anybody watching. If I was standing next to a couple and they were showing too much affection, I would simply walk away.
It can also include posting on social media to sweet talking. While couples may take different approaches to affection, all forms of PDA involve putting their feelings for one another on public display. Which leads us to the question, how much is too much?
Students will have to face the facts and see the real world. Most students here at RV say PDA is too much when it comes to anything else other than holding hands. They think RV has laid out controlled guidelines. Brent Penwell, a junior at Seneca High School and Kiersten Ebersole, a sophomore at RV, have been dating for a little over a year and three months now.
They met in mid October of and started dating in late December of the same year. Space and limits are very important, couples need to realize that not everyone wants to see public affection.
School officials should do something about that when they see it. But if a couple decides to kiss briefly before they go to their respective classes, those officials should keep their mouths shut. There is a huge difference between those students who decide a crowded high school hallway is their bedroom, and the students who realize certain things are to be done in private.
Kids who make out in the hallways make the better behaved couples look bad because people treat them the same. If a couple is keeping things school appropriate and controlling themselves in public, they should be respected enough for teachers to stop making comments that would be better served if they were said to the couples who actually need to be told.
With hormones and everything going on during the high school years, self-control is an impressive trait. It should be respected, not ignored. Do you think student athletes should be subjected to random drug testing? View Results. Illinois HB now requires notification of lockdown drills. I feel like there should be restrictions on these in particular. PDA should definitely be banned. It should be private affection taken somewhere else other than school.
It is inappropriate to go too far around others especially at school. There should be limitation to this ban. It should be private affectio…. If a couple is really bothering you so much either learn how to ignore them or kindly ask them to not do that near you. Just because its gross an…. I think that if people want to show affection, they should do it in the most reasonable and appropriate way possible. They can do whatever they want at home. I think that if people want to show affection, they should….
I think that hugs are okay, but making out and other things are not. Public is not for that stuff. Quick hugs and such are fine. I feel there should be a limit on it as you could hug your friends as there is no problem but I mean cuddling and kissing and stuff like that is for another time.
I feel there should be a limit on it as you could hug your friends as there is no problem but I mean cuddling and kissing and stuff like that is for a…. Yes, I think PDA should be banned in schools because there is a certain time and place to do that but not in school in public. That could make someone else in the room feel uncomfortable or make everyone feel weird in the room or walking by. If you are dating someo…. I find that the argument is too broad, and should looked at as a matter of lack of parental teaching on such subjects, sexual education classes in school as well as being raised in a generation where we are not taught as a society to respect our significant others.
And Public Displays of affection Being more than hugs or holding hands. Like kissing, inappropriate hand placement or acts of sensual contact. Everyone has their right to do as they please, so long as laws are obeyed, but if a school handbook states that there shall be no PDA then such rules must be followed.
To complain about this would only be logical if you were paying for your schooling, and as most students receive free high school education then I should see no reason that anyone could complain about such a rule in their schools. I find that the argument is too broad, and should looked at as a matter of lack of parental teaching on such subjects, sexual education classes in sch…. Yes PD should be banned from schools. American schools must preserve our culture and uphold morals.
Students should demonstrate good behavior in school. Schools have a code of conduct in order to foster a learning environment. Fraser, , the Supreme Court ruled that it did not violate the rights of student, Matt Fraser, when he was expelled for shouting obscenities. Kuhlmeier, , the Supreme Court ruled that schools can restrict free expression for educational purposes.
There is a time and place for students to show affection. School is neither. The sole focus of the school is to keep students safe and prepare to lead a successful life with character and morals. Students should demonstrate good behavior in schoo…. What is important to take note of is that this question does not just ask whether or not PDA public displays of affection should be banned, but rather whether or not PDA should be banned in schools.
When we enter public schools, we explicitly give up certain rights for the sake of security and educational order. Many schools even have signs posted on their front doors stating that upon entering the building you give up certain constitutional protections. Secondly, PDA is not something that is exactly appropriate for schools. The primary purpose of a school is not for students to express themselves though they still have the opportunity to do so through what they wear, what they say, who they talk to, and how they take on the classes they are in.
PDA, rather, takes away from the educational purpose of schools. As a result, students may not take their classes as seriously and teachers will struggle to maintain diligence. Thirdly, students who partake in PDA in schools will likely regret it later. PDA, especially between two people who are not in a relationship, often results in bullying and people mocking the pair for what actions they committed.
While in the heat of the moment they might be okay with what they did, when they realize the implicit repercussions, they likely would have wished that PDA had been more strictly enforced against.
Overall, PDA in schools is unnecessary, disturbing, and disruptive. For the sake of the teachers, administration, and students, banning it would be the right step.
What is important to…. I would like to clarify two things giving other people hugs or a high five is not PDA,if so then you cannot touch anybody not even your teachers. PDA is affectionately kissing someone or touching, etc. Therefore in a school PDA should be banned. If you want to see your significant other it can be done else where.
School is not a social club, students are there to learn math, English, and all their other subjects. It is a place you go to learn not socialize. It is not an appropriate nor designated place to do so. On top of that, it can be an eyesore for some and distract others as well as the individual doing so; for his mind will only be thinking about the next time he will see that person.
In conclusion, this form of PDA should be banned in schools. PDA …. If I were to say anything, it would be that PDA should be banned. We go to school for one specific reason; to learn and grow. With people foundling over others, it makes this concept of learning that much harder to attain.
PDA violates the main focus of the school, this is an aspect that should be considered while debating this topic. In brief, I do believe that PDA should be banned and anything close to it. With people foundling ov….
Yes, to an extent. However, a school is supposed to be an educational environment, so the preservation of that atmosphere is also important. Too much PDA is as distracting as it is… overwhelming, so the extreme forms of it should be stopped. The individual students are given a schedule and tasks along with each subject, similarly to a career. The goal for everyone, specifically in a career, is to have the best reputation and image.
Unfortunately, for those students who prefer to be physically affectionate give off an immature and disrespectful image. By affection, I mean kissing, touching inappropriately, and speaking in a derogative way. It would most likely be more impersonal. In a classroom or school setting, it may be seen as distracting. The individual students are given a schedule and tasks along with ea…. Eventhough PDA seems like something that should be allowed due to our tendency as human beings to physically express our affection towards someone.
But for preparation of future professional settings in life the ban of PDA in schools will give children more control over there way of expression and it would lead to having professional social tools for the future after school. There is a time and place you can do it out of school. PDA should be banned because us students are forced to be at school everyday.
We are forced to deal with rude teachers and other peers. PDA is not appropriate in schools. Nobody wants to see everyone kissing their boyfriends and girlfriends during school hours. People can wait until they are at home or somewhere private or at least somewhere where nobody cares. People in school care cause its distracting.
Public schools are for education, but it is also where students spend the majority of their days. Therefore some PDA should be allowed, but there is a line. Because public schools are an environment that puts hundreds and often thousands of students in the same space, PDA should not be allowed. It also shows a lack of control. If people are going to act on their feelings for each other, it should be in a private place. The effects of witnessing PDA have been scientifically proven as damaging.
Just as movies are rated for their content and given appropriate viewing ages, Schools need to severely limit the ability of students to engage in any and all forms of PDA. Because public schools are an environment that puts hundreds and often thousands…. Also, any argument on the basis of repressing your feelings seems like a poor one to me. If I was angry, would you tell me not to express that?
Why is love the emotion that has to be repressed? I believe there is no need for excessive PDA, but things like hugging or holding hands are fine. There is no need for excessive things like practically making out and groping at a lunch table or in the halls. There should be limits on the amount of PDA allowed, not necessarily ban it alltogether. There is no need for excessive things like practicall…. PDA should be banned in school because when you are at school you are there to learn.
Not to suck each others faces. Plus when children are kissing in the hallway it makes some people feel awkward. Plus when children are kissing in…. It could cause problems with parents because they could forbid their child from being with someone and at school they could eventually find somewhere to do everything. It could cause problems with…. They are totally inappropriate and distracting. Nobody wants to see you kissing and groping each other in the hall.
I believe there are things that are private and should be left out of a public institution, or public venue and expressed in the privacy of some other place like a domicile. Only someone with low moral standards and a budding exhibitionist would engage in such behavior. It is tantamount to inviting others to watch as the hormones start to flow and the first overtures of the Sexual dance plays out.
In other words, someone who will fall for anything. I believe there are things that are private and should be left out of a public institution, or public venue and expressed in the privacy of some other….
Schools are meant to be places of education, not necessarily a social petri-dish. Although more simplistic and vanilla forms of affection should not be criticized too harshly i.
Whenever folks are making out in the hallways, walkways, or staircases, all it does is inhibit others from reaching their classes and makes everyone feel uncomfortable in the face of such immature antics. I will admit, yes I have held hands, hugged my boyfriend in the building. It gets really disturbing to watch sometimes too.
First of all, PDA is very distracting in an educational setting. How can a student learn when two other students are all over each other? Secondly, it is unprofessional. School should not only be a learning environment for scholarly materials, but it should prepare its students for the professional workplace.
Lastly, it makes others uncomfortable. It also raises simple school ground love to a higher standard. I say, leave the displays of affection to more private locations and events. Secondly, it…. PDA is a broken policy that is rarely followed by students in my school.
Personally, I have a girlfriend, but I try to keep our relationship quite even though the entire school knows about it. Why should anyone get in trouble for dealing with someone that they care about. With maybe three teachers that will actually talk to us about affection, I do…. School is meant for learning! Education is super importance and can get you far in life if you take it seriously. PDA should be left for times away from school and there is plenty of time left. I think students should do their best to learn how to focus and love the work they are doing and learning how to do.
PDA should be left for times away fr…. We display affection through many means, including physical touch. Encouragement and affection shown through these means are vital to the emotional wellbeing of these students, and friendship between students should be encouraged.
The issue arises when physical contact passes beyond this type of companionable affection. School programs, rules, and staff should all be focused on the intellectual and emotional development of the students.
Simply put, while normal physical contact should not be banned by any measures, public displays of affection such as kissing should be banned from school hallways. Public display of affection is inappropriate and needs to be banned in every school. Public schools provides students with a quality learning environment that is free and should not be taken for granted. PDA is a distraction and takes away from students ability to learn.
Not only for the people around them, but also the students that are taking part because their minds will be elsewhere instead of on the education materials! School is not all day, it is a small portion of the twenty- fours in a day and should be dedicated to education. Public schools provides students with a quality learning environm…. School is a place for learning and education, not to be distracted by a relationship.
Relationships should be fostered outside of school, not inside. Allowing PDA in schools means that kids are allowed to be distra…. For some people PDA is not a problem but as you know there are many people at school that have no boundaries and this rule was made and should continue to be followed because it restricts problems occurring and lets people know that there is a time and place for it. School is for learning and teaching students to achieve their very best and I think PDA distracts many from this.
For some people PDA is not a problem but as you know there are many people at school that have no boundaries and this rule was made and should continu…. First of all, a school is an education center. There is a time and place for everything, and a school seems an inappropriate place for romance.
PDAs can be considered as harming the educational environment. Second of all, most kids at schools are legally dependent. Furthermore, school hallways can be overcrowded anyways. There are areas blocked in front of classes and lockers or even the whole entire hallway. PDAs c…. When it is a full frontal hug, no matter the gender, it can become a problem which could carry over into more then, or later. Keeping them from pda, especially in the Junior High, is a very good thing.
When it is a full frontal hug, no matter the gender, it can becom…. I think some forms of PDA should be banned i. School is a place of academic and intellectual advancement. Students participating in PDA make it difficult to maintain the learning environment that schools need. Students have the right to attend their academic institutions without having to encounter PDA.
While it…. Stop it, get some help. What about respect to others personal space?! You need respect others in public, no one would make out in a work setting because it causes distractions.
OK yes but people dont want to walk down the hallways and see people making out, or just people sitting there hugging blocking peoples paths. Although PDA is not very pleasing to see i fell that if a student wants to hug,hold hands,etc. No, PDA should not be banned in schools because, if you love someone and just want to give them a little hug or kiss than that should be fine but if it turns into a full blown make out session at school than you should just stop. Like just no. As long as you know where the line lies then you should be fine.
No, PDA should not be banned in schools because, if you love someone and just want to give them a little hug or kiss than that should be fine but if i…. Im not a [person that likes to see this actions take place BUT….

I disagree with you on this issue. If kids want to make out in the middle of the hallway I think they should have the right to do so. School dances are filled with girls in spandex dancing a little too closely with guys wearing sleeveless muscle tees. Every high school prom-happily-ever-after-story ends with a romantic dance and dip between a female and male student. In the twenty first century when sex ed is practically a mandatory part of our health curriculum, banning PDA would be useless if not ludicrous.
As a way to control the sexual tension between aroused male and female students, school boards have begun creating policies of policing and banning p. But is this really that effective? To say that this is a distraction in school environments that can be removed is simply false. Snapchat, Facebook, twitter are all distractions schools have blocked on their wifi networks.
What have students done? Downloaded vpns. Drinking and smoking are distractions that are illegal for students. What have students done to work around them? Created fake ids. Soon, there will be secret make out closets, special hugging stalls, hidden kissing corners.
Being able to call your students out on their inappropriate behavior and force them to focus on the lesson being taught in class or watch them cut class for a quickie because they have a boner in need of release?
We are wasting a lot of school funding, time, and money trying to create and uphold school policies that ban pda. Instead, we should focus on training our students on proper etiquette and how to behave in public to instill values within them that prevent them from behaving provocatively in educational environments. School dances are filled w…. I agree, I feel that even if there was a policy put in place against PDA, students will still rebel and break the rule, because most students these da….
I feel that PDA should be curtailed, but not banned all together. A ban would call to question as to what defines PDA. There would be no feasible way to regulate such a ban.
Schools could take this to the extreme and discipline students who could simply be hugging as friends. There is no fair way to distinguish the difference between a friendly hug from a romantic one. A ban on PDA could actually promote discrimination or even unnecessary student anxiety. I think a hug and a kiss is okay, but not make out sessions at school. I totally agree with what you are saying! I feel like small amount of affection and care are the basics to being kind.
A small hug between friends sho…. Even though seeing people do things in school can make you feel uncomfortable, just let them do them. People should stop worrying about other people doing things and only to worry about yourself. Banning things like hugging is ridiculous. It is essential for proper human development to have skin-to-skin contact with other humans consistently.
Human beings can become touch-starved and especially in childhood this can damage their psyche. PDA can be classified as anything from a hug, to, I admit, a make-out session. Some couples may not even have much time for each other due to conflicting schedules, so school may be the only place where they can be around each other.
Many students entering in high school are also entering into relationships for the first time. There are also students who may have been dating their significant for a long time. Whatever case it may be, students have a right to display their affection for one another just as students have the right to display kindness to one another.
Given, there are boundaries that students must be aware of, but if the school system is able to clearly establish what these PDA boundaries are, students should have the right to display their affection and love for one another. There are also students who may have been dating their …. However, it should be regulated rather than banned. In my own opinion, hugging and kissing is rather harmless. But making out, groping and or other sexual activities in classrooms or hallways is I think most agree is completely unacceptable.
On the other hand, having a relationship while satisfying your academic responsibilities can be pretty tough. Sometimes the only communication a high school couple has is various social medias, texting, and or by phone calls.
In my own opinion, hu…. People in schools are not only learning academics, but how to behave socially and what does or does not make them feel comfortable in a social interaction. People in schools are not only learning academics, but how to behave socially and what does or does not make them feel comfortable in a social interac….
No a ban of PDA shouldnt happen as long as it doesnt go out of hand. But it should be adressed once it affects a sudents education. I do not think it should be a big deal to a certain point. If it does not effect anybody then it should not be a big deal. But at a certain point it crosses the line altogether. Sometimes school is the only place couples can see each other so let them have there moment but they need to know boundaries. I think that schools should not ban PDA, this is not a school responsibility.
Students have to be responsible for their acts and be aware of what they should and should not do in school time and property. PDA is fine as long as it do not distract or interrupt other students. School is a place for learning, and everything has a limit. I believe that everyone knows their limits and school should not ban something like that.
Students have to be responsible for their acts and be aware of what the…. I voted no because I know what it is like to have PDA banned in a school. Its not elementary school people!
Currently PDA is banned in my school, but no one, not even the principal, se…. I believe that banning PDA will not fix the problem that people are seeing. People believe that getting rid of PDA will help but students will still find a way to work around the rules. The problem with banning PDA is that you cant hug a friend that may have had a bad day, without the risk of getting a detention or other punishment.
People believe that getting rid of PDA will help but students will still f…. PDA should not be banned in schools. Lines certai…. Moreover, at universities and colleges, students are able to display PDA without any issues.
