Les enfants qui s'aiment s'embrassent debout...

Fun teacher's lounge discussion in English with our genuinely English English teacher and Anastasia. Apparently, not only do they have no dress code for students here, but teachers are all but prohibited by law from saying anything to the students about the way they dress. Hence when the English English teacher changes the position from which he teaches, he has to figure out new paths his eyes are allowed to follow without straying into territory that will get him into trouble...

Also the students making out in the halls apparently do not only not care about who sees them, they want to be seen...

I suppose I'm a puritain and an old fogey. I don't get it...

I guess by the same token though they avoid the kind of administration that cracks down on kids who commit such as outrages as wearing t-shirts with a logos bigger than business cards...

But is wearing a religious symbol bigger than a postage stamp really any more distracting than wearing daisy dukes and low-cut shirts set off by frilly bras? Or showing up to exams with no underwear and the clothes to make this evident?

I guess every society has to set limits and each one has different priorities...

But I still don't get it.
