爱思英语编者按：英国西萨克斯国王学校近期宣布禁止其1200名在校生亲吻，违反者将被关禁闭。不少学生家长对此项规定表示不满，称亲吻是青少年生活的一部分，此项禁令过于严格。在此之前，该校有学生曾因在网球场吃苹果、衬衫第一颗扣子没有系、在热天脱去外套或者穿错黑色系的裤子而被学校关过禁闭。

Pupils at a high-achieving school have been banned from kissing, it has been reported.

Chris Richardson, headmaster of Kings of Wessex School in Cheddar, Somerset, has told all 1,200 pupils that they face detention if caught "snogging".更多信息请访问：http://www.24en.com/

However, parents at the school for 13 to 18-year-olds have criticised the rule, claiming that kissing is an integral part of teenage life.

The move follows a string of disciplinary incidents at the school, including the case of a pupil who was threatened with expulsion after being caught eating an apple on school tennis courts.

Children have also been given detention in the past for undoing shirt top buttons, taking off blazers on hot days or wearing the wrong shade of black trousers.

Complaining about the kissing ban, one parent of a pupil at the Church of England Foundation School told The Sun: "Snogging is part of teenage life.

"Most schools probably frown on pupils kissing. But actually banning it under threat of punishment is going a step too far."

Mr Richardson was unavailable to comment on the matter.

The Kings of Wessex School is also a Specialist Technology College and has received government awards for sustained improvement in exam results over recent years.

Two years ago, pupil Tom Bosley, 16, was almost expelled after refusing to accept detention for eating an apple on a tennis court, where food is banned.

In 2003, 22 children were accused of breaching the uniform code by wearing plain supermarket-bought blazers instead of more expensive ones from the school outfitters. Parents formed a protest group – branding the strictness "Dickensian".

Writing on the school"s website, Mr Richardson says: "We are a forward-thinking school but we still believe in traditional values."
