We all know that Valentine’s Day is coming up which is the time for love and happiness. However, the displays of constant affection are not needed at school. Public displays of affection (PDA) are not appropriate for school grounds, schools use is for learning, studying and extra-curricular activities. Western Dubuque High School does not have a policy for PDA but it is just expected, a common courtesy, to not happen.
Depending on the person, public displays of affection have different extents from holding hands to a kiss on the cheek; either one could cause distractions. “PDA can cause distractions during school which can take away from a student’s ability to learn,” says Vice Principal Jacob Feldmann. Clothing can also be a distraction, which is a reason for the dress code. If a shirt would say something inappropriate, it would cause a distraction to facility and students; this can be compared to PDA, for it also can be very distracting to students. The two can easily be compared to each other. If we have a dress code we should have a policy for public displays of affection.
