   Chinese School Segregates Male and Female Students into Two Separate
   Dining Areas to Prevent Teens from Falling in Love
   A school desperate to halt burgeoning young romance in its tracks has established a somewhat tyrannical regime banning male and female students from eating lunch together.
   The middle school in Shenmu county, Shanxi Province, has instructed that for a few months students of opposite genders must stay apart. The school has set up two separate dining areas for girls and boys, with a teacher patrol and harsh punishments for anyone who crosses the clear divide.
   The announcement created a flurry of disapproval from readers and students when it was posted online, with many branding it excessive and not conducive to student happiness and satisfaction.
   When asked, the majority of students confirmed that the regulation made them feel uncomfortable and removed an important aspect of middle school life. One student said; "A boy and a girl sitting together does not necessarily mean they are in a relationship. They could be just talking or discussing school work. "
   Principal Qiao Zhenyi said that the measures had been brought in after reports of inappropriate behavior between students in the canteen. Qiao argued that the new system has been received favorably by parents, as it helped " completely eliminate the indecent behavior, thus preventing premature love affairs. "
   Upon hearing the news, Weibo users harshly criticized the move, slamming the school and its head. "Smozando" posted: "It’s the silliest school regulation! The more severe the authority’s repression, the more students in their rebellious phase will revolt. "
   " Contact with the opposite sex is a normal phenomenon for high school students," clinical psychologist Wang Guirong pointed out that the practice may work temporarily, but in the long run, he said, it could have a negative impact on students’ mental health, which will affect their academic performances and damage their chances of social growth.

答案    Farewell to the Separation of Dining Between Boy and Girl Students
   It is reported that for the purpose of preventing premature love affairs between students, a Chinese school segregates male and female students during their dining time. Supported by parents, the school’s   principal   argues   that   this   new   regulation   helps   the elimination of indecent behavior. However, a majority of students and many other people are strongly against this inhumanly imposed regulation.
   Unquestionably inappropriate and inhuman as this practice is, it should be put to an end. On the one hand, the regulation is a violent invasion of students’ personal freedom. Immature though middle school students may be, they still have their own freedom to arrange their routines, which should be respected not only by their parents but also by school members. After all, personal right is a vital essence of humanity which transcends any other well-being. On the other hand, an attempt to bully students into submission would definitely backfire. The more severe the school’s repression and regulation are, the more rebellious the students will become. Set in the specific biological period of revolt, middle school students’ psycho-maturity is not fully developed, so one dispiriting consequence might be the exercise of quite the opposite kind of behavior, such as getting in touch with the opposite sex out of school. If run totally out of supervision and control, such kind of behavior may lead to a more severe issue.
   All in all, the practice of separating male and female students is not justified at all. To prevent premature love affairs, those parties involved should put forward wiser and unflawed measures instead of lurching on this pratfall that is doomed to fail.
