Mumbai schools ban girl-boy touch

hey may be co-educational schools in metropolitan Mumbai, but are still insisting drawing on a line that divides the boys from the girls.

Two schools in Mumbai issued notices this week asking girls and boys studying there not to touch or hug members of the opposite sex.

Vibgyor School and Jamnabai Nursery School have specifically forbidden boys and girls from touching or hugging members of the opposite sex in the school premises.

School authorities say the rule will “discipline” students, who are easily exposed to and influenced by violence and vulgarity on TV and other media.

"It is our duty ki unko bataya jai kya sahi hai, kya galat hai (... to tell them what's right and what's wrong)," Trustee of Vibgyor School, Rustam Kherawala argues, justifying the move.

Both the schools distributed circulars to students and their parents over the last week. But there have been mixed reactions to the new rule. Some students are quite unhappy with the directive.

all we need now is a directive that girls needn't study, and taliban to make an entry into India :bye: (Taliban must be wondering why they didn't come here in the first place, the atmosphere is so congenial already)

oh....wonder when they would start accepting homo sexuality too? hmm

^Good point... What if they start discoverin homosexuality in schools? Wil they start personal coaching?

On a serious note, this is not a way to bring discipline to the students... The real discipline comes from inside. Discipline shud not come from fear, but it shud come from knowledge..
