Matters of the heart are often controversial, especially if they involve the youth. You can reduce their pocket money, restrict their television time, but nothing can stop puppy love passion – at least that’s what we thought. But Warrnambool High School, known for its dubious intellect and Brisbane Lions football sensation Jonathon Brown, has stumbled upon another winner. No longer must parents fret into the early hours while waiting for a blearing eyed young lover to return from the local jamboree, the resident Warrnambool philosophers have worked it out. Bricks. In fact, two bricks. That’s all it takes. Imagine this… lunch time arrives, leaving hundreds of hormone filled teenagers to spill out into an unsupervised large space. In the past they were allowed to fawn all over each other until the hour was up, not anymore. Now, they must be at least two bricks away from the nearest member of the opposite sex. No more troubles, just a whole lot of education.
This idea got me thinking. Why not introduce the two brick policy internationally, applying to all couples who are yet to meet in holy matrimony. Unplanned pregnancies would be a thing of the past, not to mention the difficulties associated with committing adultery behind a two brick buffer. Warrnambool has done it again! There will, however, be those who claim that this new law is stifling the emotional development of our youth, inhibiting the important life skill of male/female relationships and creating more problems than it solves. There may be uninformed members of society who argue that a larger number of gender-based problems have arisen out of single sex schools than co-education. But not me. Pass me the bricks, I’m ready to be civilized!
